Interesting stuff....
seen a few Mk1 & Mk2's running Vauxhall twin-cam units. Supposed to be nice, but I could never put a vauxhall unit in a Ford.
There must be some good twin-cam options for the pinto block these days, that can run some sort of engine management.
Always fancied a cossie powered Mk1. But like the Twink/BDA cost too much when they fail...well they used to when mine failed.
