thanks for the replies - might be sorted

Cosworth engine is a lovely lump - but I'm an old fart with rose tinted glasses ! 😂😂😂 I know the BOA engine is far superior but I like the look of the Essex and its more period correct. I put a Zetec into my MG Fridget 6 years ago - taking out an aged and smoky 1700 Crossie after two years. I drove down to Burton Power to buy Pistons, rings, gaskets and a BCF cam etc and almost shat my Y fronts when the guy told me how much the small pile of new bits would cost me - over £2k !! I bought a Mondeo engine for £160, put on a single weber 32/.36 and a home made exhaust and hey presto, bolt on 160 bhp. The car went like shoite off a red hot shovel but the little car lost a lot of its classic character - for me at any rate. I sold it after six months 😪 I'll try RWL81P to see what the SP is on his V6. Thanks matey 👍

Heart transplant donor required for a 53 year old patient - Mr Cortina Mark Two. Prefer something hot but anything clean and tidy would be interesting. Not interested in ZedTek or DurexAtec rubbish.
