No sorry overstressed 1.0L doesn't do it for me! I need a V8 in my life! Have done a little research into the M3 motor and it is quite tall but it might just go with minimal bonnet work... There's a few fitted to E30 BM's (check out YouTube) and the sound is awesome, also been speaking to a few guys regarding standalone ECU's and they can even still use the DCT gearbox which would be fun.

No worries on the rules and regs it'll just be a race car

I'll certainly have a look

So... very early doors on my Mk2 Grp5 Zakspeed build but got round to thinking of engines.. Was going down the normal route of Cosworth (maybe millington) YB but not sure i want a Turbo engine, looking for something a bit different. Has anyone considered the S65 V8 from an M3?? If its an early version it'll come with a standard manual gearbox. I know it's comparatively heavy but i'll be cutting the firewall and getting any engine i fit to go as far back as possible.. Loads have been transplanted into other BM's but i can't find anything on one into an escort, It may not even be possible.. although anything is if you throw enough money and tech skill at the problem. I'm not a purist on this project as 50% is being cut out anyway Thoughts??

Hi all Looking forward to using this site a lot in the future... Just started work on a Zakspeed Mk2 replica, it's going to be a long project as the shell is really bad in places but worthwhile in the end (hopefully)! Pictures to follow.
