jpb, thanks i hadnt evan consider using a 1500 fwd for the parts i need, thats made me a lot more confident about it being possible cheers!
jon, have you ever heard of anyone doing it? if not how would you know that its going to be a waste of time?
also i will be using a mk1 4 cylinder 2.8 with no ecu, they use a metering head attached to the air to gouvern the fuel sent to the injector.
more like what happened to opimism and imagination??
2.8 is a V6. It'll definitely go into a Dolomite shell, that's no problem at all; we've seen at least one with that engine and the MT75 gearbox.
The big question is if it's really worth it. The standard engine put out about 150bhp, which is well within the possibilities of a Sprint engine. Combined with the extra weight of the engine and running gear it looks like a lot of effort for not much benefit.
If you are looking for an engine with 150hp, put a Sprint engine back in there, it will pay you back double if you ever want to sell the car.
If you want a load more power, look elsewhere. for the same amount of effort you could stick a 300hp engine in there.
