Australia Qld Street Legal Duratec Swap

Hi all, I was wondering 2 things. 1 what was the most powerful Mk2 Escort hp rated from the factory? And 2 has anyone completed a Mk2 Escort duratec conversion in Australia that is street legal.

Cheers.

    I know years ago Bill Hempstead from the ACT Small Ford Owners Club had his Mk2 RS2000 registered with a Duratec. Was a good 10 years or more since I saw it last.

    I ended up looking up the vehicle standards.  I will have to get it mod plated.

    Basically each state is different and each is usually assessed independently so just speak to an engineer as you’ll need their approval in most cases anyway.

    Cheers
