cheers

power will be around 350bhp based on the type of fuelling/turbo etc we will be running but i would think up to 500bhp is possible with the right mods.

you can see how much machining has gone into these blocks on Ian's ebay auction

specwise the one i will be installing first is gonna be a mountune/cosworth hybrid.

mountune block
cosworth sump and oil pump
cosworth head
mountune inlet manifold
cosworth exhaust manifold
mountune rods and crank mated to custom made cosworth pistons

the picture above was just a quick mock-up

Early last year i was talked to a guy at cosworth and he offered me genuine wrc blocks for a lot less than £500, oh and anyone buiding a zetec turbo in need of aftermarket rods should speak to cosworth as genuine wrc rods may be a LOT less than you think.
