85 Escort Engine conversion.

[Markgase2000]

I wanna know what you escort fans think of me putting a 5.0 V8 in the rear deck of a 85 escort hatch back. Ive never seen one before so if any bodys got pics id love that , infact im open to any pic links to view these awesome world renowned cars.

Even tho i never seen a 5.0 in a escort , im making a mid engine one for sure. I have a 5.0 from a crown vic. I need a fwd or 4X4 tranny and a lift kit. I have two cars to choose from the 85 escort sedan hatch and a 81 mazda GLC 2 door hatch. I think the glc is too sporty looking and not sure if i want the MAZDA since im an escort fan. (I know they look the same.) I guess i could debadge the car and say its a escort but what good would that be?

I dont care what people say (good or bad) i wanna hear any ideas , views or opinions on the subject.
