I think you know which one most people will be using, as the car is based on a ford.

I really wanted to use a Pug Mi16, but in the interest of sanity and actually getting a working car on the road in a reasonable time frame I'm
using the free Pinto that came with my Sierra donor car.
It will be interesting to see what choices people make when the trusty Sierra starts to become more scarce.

mines a 2.4 litre V6 cologne heavy thing - but it goes with the style of my car.
The future may hold an upgrade to a 200hp cosworth version from a scorpio - once its on the friggin road!

Doesn't the cossie 24v V6 have comparatively huge top end that probably wont fit under your bonnet stephen?
Is it a quad cam unit or not?

The cossie will be a nightmare!! Its huge!! My ol'man had one and you can't go to a normal ford garage, you have to take it to a
specialist to read the ecu etc, theres only about a dozen in the country!

Why not stick one of the 2.5l v6 duratec engines from the mondeo in there. Dad had a v6 mondeo estate and that went like stink, in a car half the
weight.......
175bhp or abouts.

I don't think anyone has found a suitable gearbox
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I have quite a tall bonnet, and it houses the std efi.... if its no taller, it will fit. Something to watch for tho.
Id settle for the current car working!

I think it's just Hippy trying to upset you Steve!
I'm glad this isn't just a sly ploy or anything!

Only two 4AGE's, that suprises me, doesn't seem that long ago that everyone was planning to use one. Hell, I still would if I was going
for a car engine, cracking engine in my view.

I had no idea 19% (so far) use bike engines! Other Japanese is only 4.3% so far! I bought a rx7 to use but I'm rethinking towards a bike
(r1).
good poll, Fletch.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy...

Mazda Rotary me, 13b. Expecting approx 170bhp.
And I have to admit to biasing the poll! It keeps reverting to the question instead of the results! So far I'm two of the Other Japs, and one
Other! Apologies. However, I dont claim the K-series!
