Default Mk4 escort, easiest conversion?
Just bought a carbed 1.4 cvh 5 door escort. Lovley!

Just want it as a cheap hack to use for work. Whats the easiest and cheapest conversion to do?

Was thinking 2 litre silvertop zetec on webbers or something but i want to keep it half decent on fuel... Is it straight forward to swap the injection system from the zetec too?
