I know they have been used as doners by a few builders on here and they do come up at hard to ignore prices how ever.....the saying ' using a sledge hammer to crack a wall nut' springs to mind. The sierra front up rights are massive for the job they have to do on the roadster which makes the granny uprights 3 times the size and weight they need to be. Also the later models tend to have the heavier twin cams or v6's that are mated to autos or the mt75. I'm not saying don't use one only that if your starting with a light chassis why bolt sodding great lumps of cast steel to it to save £150-200 on a £2500-5000 build?
