One option to consider maybe a Zetec conversion with turnkey 130 bhp engines available for less than a grand !

Having been down the road of all the stages of tuning a CVH from genuine extensive blueprinting through to out and out modification….. it’s a waste of time and money.

The Black-top Zetec-E route is the way to go. A BDA dress up kit will keep it looking period and almost everyone wouldn’t know the difference.
