TrevP Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 You could always slot a 2.0L in there, should give you 165bhp & lots more tuneability later on..... I think most of the ancillaries will swap over without having to buy new engine mounts, manifolds etc...... i think this could be the way to, and thinking about it one of my mates has got a 2l escort that he's about 2 scrap due being held together by rust. would my 3d alpha ignition be ok? or would it need mapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not you could get a bit of mapping done. P.S. whats the milage on your mates 2.0L might be worth checking the bottom end if it's a high mile'er......
