I'm gonna buy a 1977-97 4 door.... put in a toyota 5s motor (2.2 inline 4, out of a recent camry). I cant be effed hooking up the computers so i'm going to get an SU or a 45mm webber and stick it on the inlet manifold where the TB is meant to go.
After that i'm gonna throw some money at it and get some sport cams, and an exhaust.. maybe even a proper carbie manifold... i want about 120kw at the fly.
Unfortunately thats a long way off.
But it should be sick considering the stock RS2000 of the same year was only 70kw at the fly >

Burn rubber dudes.

He has a first gen, a 1988. A bpt swap would be a nightmare.

Either get a custom turbo for it, or up the compression ratio. The oil pump has a secondary output, so a turbo shouldn't be any problem. Oh, you can also put on a 1990 head. It takes roller lifters, which won't give you much more horse or torque, but will liven up response time a little. Maybe rebuild the engine and blueprint the thing.....add low friction rings. Turbo's probably your best bet for instant power.

Just get new car dude. But if you want to swap an engine think about this, 5.0 V8. The old escorts and old mustangs look a lot alike and i am sure you could jam a 5.0 in there. Then i'd get it blown with the blower sticking out of the hood. Also i'd take the old escort emblems off and get custom made ones that say ESCORT V8 5.0 HO and put a big SVT sticker on the back. Would be funny and people wouldnt take you seriously until you blew the doors off of a lot of cars.

one problem...Mustangs are RWD and Escorts are FWD...

Try finding a 1990 Mazda 323 GTX-Turbo engine. I've been told, by several, that it's simply, pull & drop....everything, engine, tranny, wiring, it all just drops right in....

^whats the HP?
