    Andy Burton's motor. Red 306 space framed jobbie. Had a run in that a few years back. He built a replacement but the MSA banned him from the BRC

    Sounds immense.

    Will it have the power to challange the Millingtons?

    Does sound like a KV6 to be fair. The 2.0 is 150 bhp as standard but is hugely restricted by pre cats and manifold system. Throttle boddies are proving popular on them with kit cars now

    It's a Rover Engine and at full chat it is truly immense. BUT twin pipes on a Mk2 Escort is just wrong.
