Hey guys, I am new the site, not new to crazy modifications.
Anyways, my wife went out and decided it would be fun to break the timing belt on the car today. The motor is pretty screwed.
What is the largest motor I can modify into this car? I want to know what the biggest somebody has already done so I can out do that.
Motors I was considering:
1)302 or 351W ----Using a modified version of the Focus 5.0/5.8 kit
2) 2000 plus Cougar v6
3) Contour v6 SVT
4) Thunder bird turbo coupe: 3.2 or something like that and turbo.
5) Older cougar super coupe
I know all the implications I can run into, and the amount of frame and gutting I would have to do.
I am not really caring about what needs to be done. My trucks are done and I want a new project.
Keep in mind, I am basically wanting to know what the biggest motor put in an escort is. If it can't be done, I figure it can be done once. If it can be done once, it can be done twice.
This project is just for fun, so be nice
Thanks guys,
Pete
