Default 350bhp rated nms bottom end

Just to say i am a very proud owner of a 350bhp nms bottom end, ive brought it off 'Linsay' some of you will know her from having a mercury escort, plus there isnt many females driving them..

Hope to be running 300bhp+ shortly and take it round some tracks this year.

Also id just like to say thanks to nms for how helpful and polite they have been the last couple of days!

Thanks, Joe

I know the engine, I went with her to pick up the donor engine which was built by power engineering. Then she had it rebuilt by NMS for big power - it's a good one - it'll go well. She is local to me, but not seen that Escort for years, has it gone?

Its not the engine out of linsay's car, its a different engine that she got nms to make her but she didnt fit it due to loosing interest so it sat around, got it for a bargin price so i had to have it, ill have the engine by the end of march ready to go round tracks in the summer and have some fun!

Thanks, Joe

Don't think the car ever saw light of day again, Rob the lad who I brought it off says she list interest before the final build was complete! Kinda suites me nicely I'm currently chasing the cosworth management and loom hopefully secured a deal with that now too!! Gutted I missed that back I was only a month it two out!! I'd just brought another quad so I'm pushing it to the max at the mo!! hopefully get it running some decent HP soon too
