The original Reyland EsCos was rolled in the Gumball Rally, I believe the only body part re-usable was the aero filler cap for the rebuild- (can't find an English vid, sorry) http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=e ... zdyr9PyILk

No worries! Funny how we ended up discussing Fords on an Evo engine thread?

Interestingly the 'tipping point' where a stroker tends to outweigh the long rod is once you go bigger than a GT30 HTA, where you'll be nudging 600bhp on pump fuel. Any bigger (GT35), and the 2.0 struggles with lag. Any smaller, and the 2.3 stoker gives instant spool but chokes at the top.
