It's been done, and I think is fairly easy, but lifting up the bonnet of a BMW and seeing a Ford badge......

i agree to a certain extent,im no fan off fords,but that engine is a peach,relatively cheap to tune and fairly simple,its the only good thing ford have done! i previously had it fitted to a 1985 toyota celica ra61 and its to good not to use again! watch this space it goes into the garage this friday!
