The battle of the fords! V8 vs Inline 6 | Scrap or Store

+ last week's most popular links

Hello guys, welcome back!

The results from last weekโ€™s poll are out!

It seems like you guys are enjoying the Mondaysโ€™ format!

Which means one thing ๐Ÿ‘‡๏ธ 

Scrap or Store
the Engine-Swap faceoff

As always, we start with a recap of last weekโ€™s issue.

Hereโ€™s the choice I gave you.
Was a rather unique issue to be fair ๐Ÿ˜† 

And you chose to

  • Store the Citroen (option 2) ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ 

  • Scrap car Nissan (option 1) ๐Ÿ‘Ž๏ธ 

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

Got something else for today though!!

2 American cars ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

1987 Ford Capri
vs
 1978 Ford Escort mk2

Iโ€™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 hereโ€™s the Facebook page of the racer
