The chassis will accomodate most normal engine options without modification.

Your choice of gearbox will be of more importance.

Small engines don't really weigh a lot less than a big engine. say comparing a 1400 with a 2000.

From what you have said before, you route should be to follow in the path of others.

Build from a 1.8 CVH Sierra, it will be fun enough to start with and is a simple install. Then you can plan for a 2.0 Zetec later on. Plan the build to use a MT75 gearbox even if you only use a Type 9.


Have you driven many RWD cars?
