Ran, dont think it hadn't crossed my mind too!

Only drawback, cos its on a K reg it will have to meet stricter emissions for an mot.

I havent had it long enough to get underneath it - but the inner wings are all good, the only visible rust is a little patch on the front wing.

Its there if you want it!

Not a 351 mate, too big for a Sierra if you wanna fit turbos and not have tons of grief.

302.

And even thats close, will need to be low mount log manifolds keeping the turbos close to the block.

Far smaller engine bay than a Mustang.

Estate would be cool as fuck actually.

302 is 5litre, 351 is 5.7.

5.7 block is too big, 5litre bolts straight in with the correct mounts
