i see what your all saying only reason i was gonna use my escort engine is because its running 300bhp at the moment and i dont really wanna go out buy another engine you know.

im guessing fly wheel and clutch i would have to get specily made for the car and engine i guess?

What would i do about things like drive shafts?
