Has anyone heard of a 13B / 20B Cortina? Want to know what you think.

it'd be an easy-ish kinda conversion. i've heard of several people talking about doing it but dont think i've ever seen it actually done. it'd go like a shower of shit too :)

EF conversion sounds interesting. I've been looking around and at the moment there is a series 6 13b twin turbo for about $2000 on ebay. Heard you need a bit of cash to really get power out of them. Engine looks good though.

a twin turbo 13b isnt gonna be a snail as is. they have heaps of acceleration but little torque. if u bolted one in and went for a blat around the suburbs u'd be happy. if u planned to drag a horse float or a boat around with the car then you'll be disappointed. like any engine u go for;
speed costs money, how fast can u afford?

20B has been done. GAS250 used to run one in a TE. This was many moons ago though and the motor was then put into a rota wagon.
