+ last week's most popular links

Hello guys, welcome back!

The results from last week’s poll are out!

It seems like you guys are enjoying the Mondays’ format!

Which means one thing 👇️ 

Scrap or Store
the Engine-Swap faceoff

As always, we start with a recap of last week’s issue.

Here’s the choice I gave you.
Was a rather unique issue to be fair 😆 

And you chose to

  • Store the Citroen (option 2) 👍️ 

  • Scrap car Nissan (option 1) 👎️ 

Motorcycle-powered cars are some of my favourites, this was fun.

Got something else for today though!!

2 American cars 🇺🇸

1987 Ford Capri
vs
 1978 Ford Escort mk2

I’ve chosen these ones because they are legendary cars here in the UK.

Starting with the Ford Capri

The original engine (2.8L v6) was replaced with a massive 5.0L Coyote crate motor. More details later

And the Ford Escort, powered by an Inline-six engine from a BMW

note: this is not the exact engine. It is an s38 though

This car sounds absolutely insane!
Attaching a video of the hillclimb below and also here’s the Facebook page of the racer
