  1. Those little 2 litre Escorts used a Ford Pinto engine, the same as what was in the Cortina of the day, and actually made pretty good power, especially with a cam change and a bit of head work. A 2 litre Cortina with a bit of work could easily beat the same car powered by a 250 ci crossflow, I know first hand ;)

  2.  @rossbrumby1957  My ex brother in law would disagree, his smoked every 250 powered Cortina that ever tried him. The Centura was something else, I agree. Ironically I used to pit crew on one that raced speedway, there were quite a few of them racing speedway during the late 80's/early 90's. I never liked the Pinto engine but they did make tons of power, if you knew how to build them. And if they are snapping cam belts you’re doing something wrong 🤷‍♂️
