Why does the idea of owning one of them with a 351 Windsor V8 seem like a good idea?  Or maybe even a mid mounted electric motor [:x)]

why would you put an escort body on that? seems like a waste of time, i would do a body along the lines of a super car, ie ferrari/lambo style.
because thats not an escort, thats lies!!!! [88]

408 is the max cubes for a Clevo.
427 is a big block.
You can buy blown bb V8s from the usa for $5000.

I effing love it!
Sterling, I imagine the idea behind it is to have supercar performance and handling, but still be super cool and not look like a c*ck in a Fezza or Lambo!
