Default What engine for my mk4 Escort?

As above really, I thought about rs turbo, but I'm now thinking something like a Duratec/Zetec?

Any thoughts on the above? It will be staying standard power while I save for the upgrades, but if I go Duratec/Zetec, then ITB's would be on the cards.

Simplicity of the conversion will be a contributing factor as it will he my first conversion!

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Ben.

i've had a few now but by far and away the best one i've had is my current one - ST170 on throttle bodies. Not cheap but worth every penny.

For a budget one, go for a 2.0 Zetec Silvertop with 130 spec management and hardware, makes for a great road car.

Never seen a Duratec one - would be awesome though!

Well I've already got a silvertop sat in my garage.
Would I need to mod any mounts? It's in a fiesta at the minute so It's already had a mount made up.
