Just Not long ago bought me a 1.8 LX sierra...

basically i want it as a temporay drift car, while my nissan is off the road.


what would be the best choice of engine for it?

overpriced cossie lump, or a V6 Xr4i lump ?

or somthing else that may be cheap, plentyful, and have a good deal of BHP/Tourqe.

Already welded up the rear diff solid muwhahaha

 

y not buy the 2.9 scorpio on ere for Ł400 and use that engine?

think its about 200bhp in std form

 

yep good idea, its has a smooth powerband with no turbo interuptions

 

Yep the 24v Cossie engine is ideal, torquey a fuck and screams at the top end, I used to love mine

 

thanks for the suggesions, so does that mean most ford engines from that era will easyly cross fit into each other ?

might have to pass on that granada for a while, just blew Ł500 smackers y'day on a double pushchair

just wanna get everythnig ready then get sumone to do the swap for me, got my hands full workin on the nissan bit by bit.. just wana drive-in-drive-out

any suggestions on somewhere to take it in the midlands area for when the time comes ?

 

Hi, where in the Mids are you? you anywhere near leicester? Not sure I can recommend anybody round here if you`re on a budget though. My 1.8 CVH sierra was great, more steering angle than the Cossie which struggles for degrees, I should have welded my diff up as a drift eventually ended in a wheel spinning up everytime So I drove faster
