I had an eskie 2.0 @ similar spec to that less the EFI. It was good fun inc loads of rpms. 2.0 rev'd it's head off. Good little motor and cheap to build. I had triple valves springs though. My brother inlaw ended up killing the motor, as I sold the car on the condition I kept the elec fuel pump. Told him to buy an elec pump and he ran it too lean and detonating like a ***** with the stock mech pump!

I ended up with a HD 6cyl cortina clutch. Escort clutches never lasted very low. Usually about 1 week. 4.11 gears were fun.
