[QUOTE=martin-reyland;3196239]It all started with a phone call from a Scottish guy saying that he had a 4x4 Cos powered 106 and that he wanted it taking to the next level with around 600hp and track prep, the pessimist in me took over and I told the maniac to drive it down and I would see what I could do.. True to his word the said Pug turned up driven all the way :clap:
This is where the madness starts...

Name a decent Pug engine used by tuners and in conversions the world over that you can get a reliable 600BHP from. Hardly spoilt for choice

that cars been around for years. but 600 bhp
I agree with some other people, i'd prefere that engine in a escort cossie.
Bet it handles like shit in the 106, short wheel base etc... that car's not made to be 4wd and have 600 bhp.
