    When I was doing hill climbs and rallies in the late 70’s with a Escort Mexico 1600, one of my fellow competitors had a v8 mk1 Escort.
    It had a Leyland 4.2 litre p76 all aluminium v8 with a jaguar rear diff. It was really quick with modified engine running twin 4 barrel Holley carbs and racing headers ect. The thing was a beast and had a top speed of about 130 mph. 🚗🚗🚗🚗
