alternitive engine tread
just a bit of fun realy but im sure there are other engines out there that could be used to fit in the roadster
how about we try and keep it simple so only pre 95 so no cat test and able to fit to std ford doner drive line (diff, back end) idealy still using a type 9 box (diffrent bell housing) or mt75 we all know a zetec, pinto, cvh, ford v6 will go in but the idea is others how about somthing small (1000-1400) or somthing unusual |

It would be nice to see a Peugot XU9J4, mated through a Sherpa LT box.

had an old customer that worked for peogeot uk that had a westfield with a 205 1.9 gti engine with a type 9 (cut and shut welded ally bell housing)
realy nicely done but the std fuel injection was a bit week. megasquirt would have fixed it but there was nothing like that back then |

volvo t5 with an 700 seris rwd box that would be intersting
or how about a rx7 wankel unit (seen one fitted in a mkII escort) |

T5 ( B5234T)
It would have to be an M90 box from a straight 6, very rare to find some 960 had them but most were auto's. Not sure you could cut much out the sump, the main bearings are actually part of one who big bottom end casting that extends the perimiter of the block wall. VERY STRONG THOUGH!!! TT

How about a nice Toyota Supra Twin Turbo? On a more practical note, I'm surprised that RS turbo engines aren't used with more frequency. I'd have thought the small engine ethos would have been ideal.
