This would be incredible in a RWD-converted, stripped out, 1st gen Festiva (because brand correctness). Around 1500lbs in a hatchback with this engine would be insanity.

One problem with this motor. It is a midget engine so there is no provisions to bolt a bell housing to it.

Just build your own. For less than that. How much are duratec cosworth crate engines? Lets drop the boat anchor however cool this is.

Probably way more. I am not sure but here is a used YB from a Sierra Cosworth.

£2,950.00

Ecoboost 2.0T is 8k sooooooooooo I'll take that. But I hear you it would be insane. However not street able. You gotta ring that things neck constantly to get to peak hp. A generous amount of N/A bolt on and internal mods get the 2.3 lima to 150-165hp. I just see a duratec with bolt ons as a better swap. However again I do love people thinking outside the box and not jumping straight to turbo power(even tho i suggested it as a counter point)
