Info needed.....
What motor do you have at the moment? Do you qwant a total swap, or just EFI on your current block? Escort = 4cyl....still want 4cyls, or something more wild? Will it be used for street (needing valid rego) or some other purpose? I've seen a zetec efi system on a pinto, a duratec engine conversion (not sure of box), and then you could go the V8 route, or change engine brand allegiances. Lots is possible subject to engine bay space, time ,money and rego authorities. |

Mazda MX5 1/2 cut maybe? You could probably get "Ford" rocker covers for that engine too.
