Why would you want to put a big, heavy, thirsty V8 in a Cossie, completely unbalance the front end and remove 2 wheels worth of drive when you can tweak the standard YB motors to well over 1200bhp? It's like building a Westfield kit-car and fitting a diesel engine converted to FWD.

My contribution.

Formula 5000 chassis, hard-topped, fitted with X-trac AWD and a Tag Turbo engine. 1.5l twin turbo V6, 1560bhp. C.500kg weight. Better power to weight ratio than an F1 car.

The thread title says "interesting", not "useful" or "smart" ;) Also, I wrote that before I knew about the Sierra Cosworth (which is RWD anyway), and before I learned about how truly awesome the Cosworth YB engine is. Putting on a bigger turbo, switching the bottom end out for a reinforced version of the Pinto 2.3 block, getting more aggressive camshafts, etc. would be the smartest thing to do with an Escort Cosworth, in terms of performance potential; however, the fact that that's the obvious route makes it less interesting. :P

Also, your idea sounds utterly amazing, and it sounds like it could outpace basically any other car in existence.

Some more random ideas:

- Subaru Impreza GDB with Saab 9-2X front end and a turbocharged Legacy 3.0 flat-six.
- Nissan Cefiro A31 with an engine made out of a RB30 bottom end and an RB25DET top end, with R32 double-wishbone suspension.

Volvo 240 Estate with an RB25DES.

And that is an "S" for "Supercharged". Someone is selling this exact setup in Australia. I commend him for it.
