put a twin webber powered zetec in the mk1
all you need is the carbs and a hcs loom out of a mk4 escort
youll have aboput 130bhp out of a 1.8 or 150-160bhp out of a 2.0

Not sure where you live m8, but your series 1 was bought brand new from neshams of teeside in middlesbrough in 1985!!

I know cos my dad had a granada scorpio C99UAJ that was bought from there and they registered loads at the same time, from memory it was registered in late 1985

Change the tailpipe for a 4" or 3.5" I think. Keep the big bore exhaust though!
