Why not just buy that V6 Escort race car on Ebay? It's already a runner.

There was a mk2 escort on gumtree in Adelaide for sale as a project with a barra going into it. I was interested in it so shot the guy a email about it being street legal and he replied that he already checked and it would be approved if it was done correctly. I'd love the power to weight myself of that set up! As for a cossie as a alternative I think everyone would love one but they are a tad on the expensive side

By the time you do the barra properly it will be simular money to the cossie! I have an F6 with 500rwhp as my everyday work ute and yes its a handful if driven hard but in an escort it would be useless!

It has been done before a full drag mk2 4door with a bara in it with massivr turbo...

Will need to chop the firewall out and move it back a **** load
Engine will more then likely hang out the bonnet
Will make the car massively front heavy and will only be good for drags
Wont be able to get it regod anywere

Waste of time/money unless its a dedicated drag car looking to run 7 or 8sec passes

There was a build thread on another forum of the mk2 but cant remember which 1...

You'd Prolly be better buying a Cortina tc/d/e/f to install the xr6 motor, they came with 6cyl as std in some models, big tunnel and a Borg Warner axle STD .stuffing a big 6 in a little escort won't be any good going around corners or stopping....or both at same time .if money's not a problem get a 2.3 Duratec and turbo that, (in Sweden they've stretched capacity to almost 2.8ltrs )and with correct parts internals they can go past 800bhp safely tho 400bhp is plenty for Escorts !

I know the green RS goes pretty good on ford forums
