Steve,
The Ford Zetec has been done (and very nicely!) by Mark Dent (aka Stickerman
on this list and 311s.org). Other common swaps that people do are the KA-24
and SR20 engines.
This has been discussed quite a bit, so search the list archives plus the
forums (especially Engine Swaps) on 311s.org <http://www.311s.org>.
Welcome back to the looney bin, hehehehehe.....

Subject:
It's been a long time since my last post. Have been sitting on a big ol'
pile of roadster parts for a couple of years. Started a frame off
restoration of my '69 1600, took it all apart, bought some parts and put new
suspension on cleaned up frame. Got sidetracked by a divorce... Ready to
start working on it again soon.
I was going to stroke the 1600, but have been seduced by horsepower! What
other options exist with these parameters? 200+ hp, reliable, relatively
easy swap. I have been leaning toward a Ford Zetec that has been "breathed
on" a bit.
Also what rear end should I be using with this much more power over stock?
