[QUOTE="KennyXR4i, post: 15521680, member: 184304"] Hi guy's, following this with great interest. Been sitting here since mid november due to a busted knee & ankle overdosing on petrolhead TV - Fast n Loud, Overhaulin etc etc. So, consequently the mind has turned to my (stalled resto) Sierra XR4i - you got it as the Merkur XR4ti. Here in Europe the XR4i came with a 2.8l(171cu in) Cologne V6, a fuel injected (Bosch K jet) version of the engine Ford used in the 1974 Mustang 2. So naturally as a result (partly) of the afore-mentioned TV shows, the mind turns to increasing the performance from the 150ish BHP the car originally came with. While a Coyote would be lovely, a V8 would probably require too much in the way of engine bay mod's (although Ford SA SVO did it with a 302 Windsor, I don't have their resources lol) so naturally my thoughts turn to the 3.5 Ecoboost mated to a (?)T5 trans. TBH I'm a long way from being in a position to do this (if at all) but I like to think these things through before committing time/money. So any (constructive) thoughts, opinions would be most welcome. [/QUOTE]
