.........probably supercharged cossie, or is that just being awkward!
Certainly the easiest after just using the std cossie setup, since the compression is right.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

yea, cossie is old hat, but the head design is still better than a duratec and the bottom end, though it has the disadvantage of being built like a
tractor, also has the advantage of being as strong as a tractor!!! (as long as its on a 4x4 block)

I love the sound of the Volvo 5 cyl turbo but seeing as that isnt one of the options you are giving i'll say Supercharged ZZR1400!!

Cossie is a proven engine that was used in a production car, therefore all faults are known. It might be old news in terms of what others have done
in the past, but I'm not one for doing things just because they're different - the performance will speak for itself.

For a 7, supercharger over turbo any day. I don't want a big hit of boost mid corner, so a supercharger would give the feel/response of a bigger
engine, without the weight, and no lag....
Why Alex, have you decided to abandon the boat anchor?
