Re: what engine in a MK1
Mark 1 Cortina has a "Kent" crossflow engine (ie intake and exhaust on different sides of the engine). It could be either 1200-1500cc standard. There are heaps of options you can do, turbos are never easy and for all the engines commonly used in Cortinas and Escorts there was no factory efi setup so you will need to be creative there as well.
The cheapest and easiest thing would be to build a crossflow engine with a bit more capacity, cam, extractors, some head work and twin webers (or a single weber). Next would be to drop in a Pinto ohc 2L engine with the same.
