If I was in your position, then I'd drop it in a Sierra Pickup or an E30 Touring.... however, cause you're asking then it seems like you're not really into it and that it might be a waste of time and money to take a project on.


Cheers,
Grant

Just sell! Anything you do is going to be a faff and as someone said above; if your heart isn't in it, can you actually see yourself completing it???

First of all your argument was Hadland, which has now changed because you was wrong. Second of all, no YB engine sounds as good as a V engine and it never will. By the way, I think you was trying to call me a mongoloid, wasn't you? Oh the irony of trying to offend someone in such a manner you are claiming they are stupid, and spelling it wrong. Now run along, clown.

I'd sell up, if your hearts not really in something then there's no point doing it.

However if there is a chance you'll come back to Cosworths later on - keep it
