how much we talkin to make this beast

[bhempstead]

I have spent $45,000.00 AUS over six years. The duratec conversion is approx $12,000.00 AUS but getting cheaper as engines become more available. Cutting edge now is to go Duratec 2.5 in the 2009/10 Mazda 3 and 6.

@rs2klee pinto is the way to go in those escorts =)

would have been better to buy an escort cossie motor and rebuild it, there are loads out there, anything from 250 - 400 bhp..., a friend of mine bought a stage2 tuned f series for 1800 sterling and spent about another grand making it fit..320 bhp at the wheels, goes like stink :)

Nice work. Good to see someone doing decent stuff to the Mk II. No expense spared either. Good to know that there are people who like things done right.

Good to see it coming together. Don't forget you owe your former work colleagues a ride in this.
