Adam Beard from Twin Engine Corsa found another unique vehicle in the UK. This time he featured a 1973 Ford Escort Mk1 powered by a 2.0 L Duratec ST inline-four. The motor originally came turbocharged but was converted to naturally aspirated using individual throttle bodies and a Retroford exhaust manifold. It produces approximately 180 hp (132 kW). Behind the motor is a Type 9 five-speed manual transmission and Atlas rear end with a limited-slip differential. The owner also upgraded the brakes to AP Racing front brakes and VW Golf Mk4 rear brakes.
