RB26, 1/2JZ.

OR, go really bizzare with a redblock Volvo lump with a silly turbo. Plenty of Swedes/Norwayish running them!

Beemer M50 turbo is a good shout too.

Saab 9000 Aero lump?

Forget all above as I can see you're as narrow minded as most Why the @uck did'nt you mention that Ford engines were the only option in the title?? Or would that have ruined the attention seeking?[/quote]


that's what this threads about isn't it?

Both options will give way better drivability than a big YB. My Escort is getting a V8 with forced induction.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to answer that question on here! Its not a difficult engine to fit, you'd want to get the 6 speed box with it too ideally.

seriously??? would it be an infraction for saying a simple yes or no as to if your able to fit one?

If you went into detail on what you can offer/prices etc and times available then thats understandable but i'd have thought a yes or no I can/or have fitted one before would be acceptable.

I'm sure others on this site have done/said things along those lines and not had an issue.
