So, I have this tidy Cortina, its got a 500 Holley, and a good cam (too much really) and goes like a screamer but spits unburnt juice at idle (that's normal) and needs 3K to get going with a schwezenger type clutch. I also have a reasonably low mileage EFI engine in perfect condition. Driving the HiPo engine is fun but a bit of an effort, Clutch is hard, it's tweaky in traffic etc and I only really give it a go every 3 months or so. I've spent more on the chassis than I'd really like to think about and thought I'd drop the HiPo engine out and leave it with the EFI engine for day to day, given that the new club plate rules give me more opportunities to use the car. My thinking is to put in a tap for the tank to switch between the Hi pressure EFI and the Lo Pressure carby pump and simply lift the engine/gearbox out and swap. The carby engine is good for lots of HP, but a good well setup EFI will still give me 250+ hp with an auto for around town. I'd like to hear what you all think, an engine swap is about a 2hr job so I'll keep the HiPo for competition but using the car gives me a chance to sort the chassis a bit better. I'd set up the EFI with a wolf/Haltech/Motech/ whatever brand I can score at a good price and leave the crusty trusty BW35 there.
