fire damage was very minor and was mainly to the engine loom, plug leads, injectors etc. plus a whole load of repolishing needed

They are Dellorto 45's which is what you need on a 2.0 really, 40's work well on 1.8 & 1.6 and its running OMEX ignition only management.
The head on mine is ported and its running a pair of Kent Cams.
Needs a little more setting up but hoping to crack 185bhp shortly.
I just cant get used to revving it after the Cossie.... seems alien to go to 7000 all the time... but it loves it... and the gearbox is the nuts...
2.4 first gear...
the only thing thats a bit shit is 5th gear is straight cut and it whines like a bitch..
But hey ho... cant have everything.

Other road users dont expect it to be as quick as it is so they keep pulling out on me... and doing daft stuff thinking theyve got loads of time...
But theres nothing better than getting up behind someone and giving them the 'Death Bark'
Imagine hearing 'Baaaaaaarp Baaaaaarp Baaaaaaarp' behind you and then looking to see what all the noise is and its some bloke in an Anglia....

i got plans for my escort - it'll eventually be finished to this standard (my old saph - sold in July)

Not the best picture but it's a pretty impressive engine for a standard car. 1.6 that produces 160bhp. It's a 20 valve (5 per cylinder), individual throttle bodies, VVT, 8400 rpm rev limit.
Anything that knocks out 100bhp per litre in N/A standard form is a good lump.
