I was wondering which engine is the best to put in a 96 Escort shell?
I had the 1.4i LX for 9 months. I drove it way too hard and ended up blowing the engine, wrecking the brakes and CV joints. I was going to get rid of it after I got a new car but can't bring myself to do it.
Does anyone here know the best engine for this car? It was already very light as it had no electric windows or anything fancy and now I'm gutting it, it's way up off the arches. So ideas of lowering springs and harder suspension would be appreciated aswell.
Also the car I'm driving now can beat Civic SiRs, so I'd like the new engine to have a good bit of power and torque.
Thanks in advance,
Andy.
