The Ford "Ecoboost" engine is remarkable, 243bhp and 270 ft/lbs from 2.0L....!!!

The Morgan motor is esentiall the same motor, without a turbo. It gives 160 hp and 146 lb·ft with an expected 40+mpg. Quite remakable.

The engines have been about since 2011 so are well proven. I'd expect it to be a real star. Already there is the possibility of a Throttle body/free flow exhaust kit taking it to over 200 bhp....

MORE!!

The engine costs Morgan about £3.7K, it seems. With Trhottle bodies about £1K more.

Who will be tempted first? That is as much as a Roadster.....!!
