hi dave,

the engine is a little un know to me im affraid. I brought it off a guy who had a mk escort he was building for some type of racing. The project fell though for some reason so i got my hands on the engine. He told me that it was built by a company called RPM engines, was stage 2 and hadn't been run in. I tried finding this company but had no luck!.

Im not sure exactly what spec it is but i do know it has steel bottom end, large vavles, uprated vavle train etc on twin 45's. It revs nicely, but not all that high, the Bhp reading of 154 at the wheels was at 5800 rpm.

sorry that this has no use to ya!!

cheers craig

Where did you have it rolling roaded? If it's 154 brakes at the wheels your looking at about 175Bhp X-Flow. Now that is expensive.

Cheers
