would it be cheaper to

A.Take that XR3 CVH out and bin it and drop an RST motor in or

b.Get all the bits from an RST motor and stick it into the current engine.The only differences (i think) are the pistons,rods,and crank. So get forged pistons,rods and balanced crank.Then get the RST turbo and hosing/exhaust put in,that way you have a reliable motor and you wont have to source and swap a full engine

Or if ya dont do either of them

A.Recon your engine and get it carbed on 45/45s

B.Chuck the 1.6 ZETEC in and get it to 100+BHP on cams and MAF/TB from a bigger lump etc
