Re: Silly mods for the Escort

A mid engine, rear wheel drive configuration might work.

Hmmmm.

lol why do it with a crumby ford engine, rover v8 baby!

Yeah, I've always thought a V8 would be a good grin inducer. If only I had the money, a Cammer might be a nice backseat feature.

Ta, G.

I'd rather use a Ford V8 than a Rover V8, thanks.

So too would Rover. Or they did.

a big block ford v8? I was thinking you might actually be able to squeeze a rover 3.5 v8 in the back of the Ka.

it's madness anyway, but it would be quality to hear a Ka start up singing like a Hemi ;)

Well if we're gonna do it, lets be manly about it. What about a Supra twin turbo engine tuned to 700bhp and dropped in, and 4wd?

Twin RB26's one under the bonnet the other in the boot!

Warp core.

"She canne take it captin!"

Er no. Instead of using the Japanese mechanical and electrical bits that last forever with Italian Style they used the very worst bits of late 70's Italian engineering with late 70's Japanese style. And it disappears at a rate that's the product of Italian x Japanese rot rate of the 70's.

You just want to get this thread onto Italian cars don't you?
