Hi,
I assume you are changing motors looking for better performance. Depending on wether you want to stay True Blue Ford or dont care about motor choices.
A 2 litre pinto would increase your performance and are available cheaply, sticking with ford also would include the 2 litre Cosworth turbo as used in the sierra.
If your not worried about brand loyality, most 4 cyls will fit or can be adapted, search around first, most engine swaps usually start cause theres a motor sitting around or is available cheap.
