Drop in a £50 cross flow and IVA, do nothing to it.
Once passed IVA with minimal emissions put in something with a bit of poke.

''best mod is a zetec''
Beat me to it. 
I got a 1300 gt with gearbox,both manifolds,dgv carb,itg filter,Valencia ignition and type 2 gearbox for 70 quid so there are some bargains out
there. The advantage of putting the crossflow in first is that after iva u can then put any age zetec in you like without a cat etc. Also it's
probably worth having a lot less power than the zetec while u get used to the car.

Then have the whole thing ballanced.

My IVA'd crossflow emissions are 'nil - view only'
I used a 1970's escort log book
Also get to use black n silver number plates!
Own chassis & Build - First time pass!!
"7's" aren't really "cars", they are 'experiences"

Not sure you actually can legally use black and silver number plates unless you actually built your car before 1973 - age related registrations are
different I seem to recall......... I could be wrong though

Don't forget solid rocker posts, stop the nasty tapping, and lighten the fly wheel.
