    I have one in a Mk1, it came with the car and its the first 1600 ive ever had and must admit i like it.
    capri GT head
    cosworth A2 cam
    weber 2lt carb
    fully balanced 711M bottom end
    lightened flywheel
    pacemaker extractors
    She has a fantastic sounding idle and will rev to 7000, ive had a couple of pinto powered escorts and I can say that it pulls way better than a standard pinto, so at a rough guess I would say it has a touch over the 100hp mark. 
    Still not changing my mind about swapping her out for 2lt one day though.

    this is the info im after:) thanks mate. What sort of manifold are you using? can you mod a standard 1600 manifold to cope with a 32 36?

    Hi Mezza,
     
    You can get an adapter plate from weber performance for a 32/36.

    or find a mk2 1600 Ghia manifold (PM Sent)
     
    Cheers Daz

    If you are going to rebore the block get 83.5mm pistons this will bring it out to 1700 using std head gasket. I had some pistons made with 1300 crowns and extra deep and wide valve pockets, if you are interested I will dig out the part number.  JPengineering supplied the pistons and have the jig to make more. This makes a noticeable improvement.
