I'd guess its only of that value to someone whose race class restricts engine type....
For a road car, there are many better, lighter, cheaper options.

You can get better than the BHP figures on the graph from a bog standard Zetec fitted with a decent manifold and some throttle bodies, why bother with
old technology? Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

With a bit of effort you can probably get an almost-new Duratec and install it for £2.5K.
I'm a crossflow fan, but I'm also a realist - even a bog-standard Duratec will easily beat a crossflow, unless you tune it to something
mental.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........................AX block...............can be bored to 1840 !
So I wonder why it's only 1660 and making peak power at just 5500 ? ! ?
178 BHP is nice for a crossflow , but with a bit more work (and revs......) it could be made to produce a lot more 
Its cuz I is blond , innit
