I think we are missing something here, the wooden chassis Marcos will not survive big engine swaps. It was designed for 130-150hp with the small rims. You cannot squeeze a v8 into a wood chassis there is no room, it barely takes the 4 cyl. motors. I've looked at the Ford Duratec, a fantastic motor, it's too tall and wide with nowhere to run headers. I would recommend upgrade your 1600 or go to the Pinto, more power less expense and loads of after-market go faster goodies, just my opinion. John.
