I've done it! I installed a 1998 Escort ZX2 motor in my 1961 4/4. This is the 130 hp, 2.0 litre engine available in the US. I'm using twin DCOE40's, large tube exhause header, T9 gearbox fitted with Quaife CR gears, and a 4.1 rear axle. Also a larger radiator was fabricated in the style of the SS racers . . . extra long and angled forward at the bottom. This is a very doable project, but it requires a fair amount of fabrication, design and welding. I've got photos of the project if someone is interested.
