Hello guys, welcome back!
The results from last weekโs poll are out!
It seems like you guys are enjoying the Mondaysโ format!
Which means one thing ๐๏ธ
Scrap or Store
the Engine-Swap faceoff
As always, we start with a recap of last weekโs issue.
Hereโs the choice I gave you.
Was a rather unique issue to be fair ๐
And you chose to
Store the Citroen (option 2) ๐๏ธ
Scrap car Nissan (option 1) ๐๏ธ
Motorcycle-powered cars are some of my favourites, this was fun.
Got something else for today though!!
2 American cars ๐บ๐ธ
1987 Ford Capri
vs
1978 Ford Escort mk2
Iโve 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 hereโs the Facebook page of the racer
