Xr3i Cab, Engine change!
Rite mate has a xr3i (mfi injection) mk4 escort cab! the engines now on 233k and is pretty much dead!
what we wanna know is can we use a 1.6 carb engine and just change the inlet manifold over and stuff needed?
If not, would it need a rs turbo loom to run a turbo lump, as it is mfi already?
Cheers for ne help

What year of manufacture is the carb engine and what is it out of? Later cars went to lean burn so that won't be any good on MFI....

I would never of guessed it smokes 
If you can find an early 1.6 carb, like a XR2 engine then that will be the same thing, but the later engines as i said changed over from hemi heads to leanburn, (all the 3i engines stayed hemi).
If you look on this site www.pumaracing.co.uk/cvh.htm this shows you all the different casting numbers of the head so you should be able to pick a suitable engine out
