[robertw]

too cool

[Colin]

Yeah, maybe. Joe and I go way back.

[Byron]

Cool car Colin, but you need to start your own thread rather than hijacking this guys.

[Colin]

Not a redblock. It's a Ford 2300 block from my old XR:



...which has begun transmorgification to become a drift sloot.

[corey]

Holy shit this is sick! love the redblock 16v!

[SamPet]

Holy shit that Scorpio is NOICE

I likes, a lot

[Colin]

That's just the summer daily. I'm working on building an XR drift car, among many other projects.

[scweet14]

holy. fuck.

[FunfGang]

Well shit.

[Colin]

How many of you have heard of the Scorpio?

Sup time travelers, I come from the year two thousand and thirteen. Bump.

those would look awesome in white on that tucked and cambered up



shoot they used to be all over indy. I remember seeing them in the double digits at a local yard a long long time ago. They share eerily similar block/head designs as the volvo 4cyl redblock. They're just america's neglected escort cossie version cut back for emissions and safety.

Leave it up to a Volvo guy to be the only other dude on here who knows what they are

Good on ya, man.

[turboxr]

That's Colin's car. It didn't run 11's. It's a pretty sick car though.

And here's the volvo 16v head on the XR4ti's 2.3 4cyl block. I think this car ran in the 11's down the 1/4.

Those are SuperAeros.

I think it's funny that the Merkur XR4Ti car swept the American sports car scene off it's feet and dumped it on its ass in the 80s, yet so many people don't know it exists How many of you have heard of the Scorpio?

We have loads of these here in UK, Cosworth ones are rare and pricey
