Hello again,
I want to turn to you who know about these things for advice. I have acquired a Sierra based S7 with rear diff and Sierra steering but that’s it. I want to get an engine in to work around but I’m really stumped as to what to put in it. It will be both a track and a road car and obviously not my daily driver so I don’t mind if it is not the most comfortable to drive but I’d like it to be quick.
At first I was going to go down the bike engine route, I like the revs and gearbox. Then I had an offer of a V6 Essex but that fell through, now I’m considering a Zetec Blacktop.
The weight of the engine affecting steering is a concern. I think the S7 is light on the front end so do I in fact want a heavy engine…. Or not?
I’m thinking that the Zetec should fit relatively easily on a t9 gearbox and can be tuned up.
I really am stuck on this choice so was after some input if you have time. Lowish budget also needs to be considered, or a higher budget over time.
