upload your pics onto http://tinypic.com/
once uploaded. you will be presented with four choices.
The line that says "MG Code for Forums & Message Boards" is the one you want.
Simply copy that line which would look something like this "
"
Into your message, that will then link the pic into your message, thats how you get pics on your messages...

There you go mate,
Press the image button two along from the smiley face and paste your link in the box that pops up.
IMO the guys above are spot on. You can screw a bit over 200bhp out of an st200 in the real world, or you can build a 250bhp zetec turbo for peanuts, it'll be a hoot to drive, be worth more and cost you less (plus you might stand a chance of insuring the thing).
Of your dead set then fair play, they do sound awesome with the right exhaust and no cats.
Get a scrap engine first, offer it upto the shell and see how much of a ball ache it is, i suspect MAJOR. Then buy a zetec.
Rob,

IMO matey, go for the st220 3.0 lump, 220hp straight out the box, easy to get even more out of with just a decat and remap, bags of torque, the st220 is no slouch and that weighs basically 2tonne..
iv had all 3, st24, st200 and the 220. the 24 and 200 run that crap imrc system that never works properly aswell..the 3.0 is just a different animal.
imagine what it would be like in the lighweight mk4 shell..
its the lightest and strongest and most reliable v6 ford have built.
good luck either way, stick with it

The engine looks like a tight fit in the bay.It looks good though.Keep the updates coming.If you remove the imrc(that box which is bolted to the front cam cover.The part with the cable going into it)
From the manifold to somewhere where it wont get any heat it will work better.

looks good think you may have to cut more from the front for your rad then give the dimentions to a rad specialist to see what fits , tube manafolds would gain you some room but do cost a lot , and a turbo would be good thinking of puting a turbo on mine keep going will be a neat setup !

Just stumbled on this thread, I like guy's like you that do something a little different, but just wondering what engine management system are you using, it's just that the ford system is a bit crap also the engine runs on 12 of it's valves most of the time being controlled by a butterfly system in the lower manifold which holds them back a bit.
I've just fitted one of these lumps in to a MK1 Escort on a Sierra floor pan just to give everything a bit more room, but converted all the management to Microsquirt system, the difference to that engine is unbelievable
