Matt, thats the one i was referring to, don't you remember? Oh no you weren't there was you :rolleyes5:
When we got the V6 lump out, James leaned into the empty engine bay, and with a lot of thought said " It looks like a zetec" :skep:.....:hand:
Which reminds me, i might have a photo of Scotts engine bay when we did his swap last year. :idea:
EDIT:
This is all i have:

Thanks Al that is a big help, just need to measure the firewall now and work out how much i can loose lol
Havn't bought one yet Jamie but looking in some detail at a hemi small block possibly even a mopar, I have noticed that most the engines shown fitted are in cars with a longer front end than the cougar but don't fill completely. working off cubic size i think it will be possible to crowbar in a 355ci with little moddification to the engine bay, am just looking to see if a big block V8 could be made to fit. will keep you updated as may require your advice
Would be great if this could be done. Have you asked on any of the yank forums to see if anyone has tried and failed with any engines so far?
From the looks of this one, maybe Jamie & Procomm are looking to TEACH the yanks how to do it Paul............c'mon the Brits, let's see some bulldog spirit & the kinda ingenuity this country has shown time & again!
Good luck on this guys, if you can pull this one outta the hat..............nuff respect!

it is proving difficult to find a 4x4 system to fit the cougar, fitting the engine in is the easy part thats just gentle moddification lol transmission and drive are somewhat more difficult.
I have spoken to a few of the guys in america and canada, one guy tried and got a fair way through the modding process but then something happened in his personal life and he had to stop
