I doubt the 2.4L V8 in the latest Ariel Atom is a dinosaur - combined with it's air operated sequential flappy paddle 6spd box [:p] Aparently it's 2 Hayabusa heads on a common bottom end.
500Hp and 500kg [:u]

[x2x][x2x] I was refering to the traditional V8 transplants. You know, like a 302W/C, 351W/C, 308, 350 Chev, ect, ect.
Are you guys for real?? All alloy Windsor??, Ariel Atom??? Talk about more $$ than sense. If you could afford any of those engines, why would you even think of transplanting it into an Escort?? Again, more money than brain cells for sure. [V]

Here's a 5L alloy block V8 crate engine. You could have this landed for about 9-10K. If you ran all the 2010 Mustang emissions gear with it you could probably get it on the road (depending of course on the engineer who'd have to sign it off)

Not exactly the most expensive project escort around if you chose to do it.

That's just it, you're not comparing apples with apples?!?!?!?![x2x] Sure a modern 4cyl 16 valve turbo is going to miles ahead of a carby fed ohv V8 designed in the 50's................... Going on that comparison, we may as well compare an AMG V8 to an anglia and conclude that all 4cyls are dinosaurs.....  Why compare 2 engines half a century apart and give such a blanket statement? Have you been in a V8 with VVT? such as Nissans VQ45 or toyotas UZFE range??? I've been in older cars retro fitted with both, more power than you'll ever need, cheaper than an sr20, and sound like they go, like a v8 with powerband. Dont knock it till you've tried it.. Rant over... Shaun

Sorry I wasn't aware that the "trditional V8's" as I called them, are not available in EFI, or aren't fuel injectable, or couldn't be run by ECU. [:u] They can only be carby fed.. right??? Sorry, I'll go compare an orange with an orange now. [:0]

A lot of modern day V8 conversions use Toyota 1UZFE (4L quad cam)
A roll in roll out conversion, mod plated etc is around 10K

You would have to check out your local road authority rules. For some reason I think I read 2.5 is to big to be engineered anymore?
