I'm guessing 2.3 Saab turbo engine tuned and boosted to within an inch of it's life.
Est 300-350 bhp for not too much cash.

The Project is...................
To fit a 3.0 Omega Engine into my Escort Cabriolet :y
I have bought a Vectra V6 for the gearbox etc to use on the project.
There are a few things I am uncertain about though really, will i go into the first hedge that jumps out infront of me? ;D
Will I be able to stop the thing from wheels spinning?
I would imagine it will sound lovely and be pretty impressive at picking its feet up.
So any ideas will be greatfully recieved... well some will ;D

Bigger air bags and wheelie bars spring to mind first mate..... :D ;D ;D

Once the front wheels get a couple of thou' above the tarmac its probably going nowhere very fast so the wheely bars bight best be on the front for ballast..... ;D

Oooooooooohh if I have too ;D

If your going to wear your water wings why not go a stage further and weld up the doors, ( it`s a convertable anyway so wouldn`t be needed ) and either take a feed off the gearbox and fit a propeller on the rear, or an outboard on the boot lid and make a multi purpose car/speedboat. Simples :y :D ;D These suggestions don`t help i know Daz but had a few tinnies and silly thoughts going through my mind. ha ha. ;D

1) Scrap the Vectra donor
2) Tunnel the floor pan
3) Mount the engine PROPERLY

Do it properly then fit a rear axle
-
I have toyed with this idea Martin to be honest.
I prefer the idea of it being rear wheel drive as I do think the axles should do there own thing not one doing both..

Buy a slightly poorly, 1998 Silver MV6 instead ;D ;D ;D
