Down boy! Down! I made the comment because Vic wants a more modern engine,
which will probably have emission controls.  I had a 2.8 litre Ford Capri a
few years ago and it ran like a dog. My brother had a similar car in England
without emission controls and it went like the clappers (it was fast). I
wouldn't want Vic to go to all that trouble and be disappointed with the
result. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with and how it
performs in the end. 
 
Regards,
                Paul

Hey now! My non-emission equipped 2.8 liter does pretty darned good! (Barks
second gear every time!).
And it's not even really hot-rodded. Yet. ;-)

Vic,

You should bear in mind that the Essex engine wasn't restricted by emission
controls and, depending on your choice of engine, you could end up with
significantly worse performance, especially with a 2.8.

I am going to start a project to replace the 3L Essex engine and 
gearbox with a far more modern engine, if anybody has taken on this 
task and can give some ideas I would very much appreciate it.

I am thinking a 2.8L five speed gearbox option.

Regards

Vic
