My latest fixation on that front, which you will absolutely laugh at, is the idea of a turbo Duratec or Ecoboost in an old Merkur, to make a cut rate Cosworth Sierra.

I'm in. When do we start?
Not kidding. We can put 350hp to the wheels without ever opening up the engine and it'll run on 93 octane.
