hey,
I am looking for a new project car and i have been looking at the Robin Hood's, but i am unsure on how good the actually are. I have now started to find out more about the MK Indy but was hoping someone could shed some more light for me.
The main parts i would like to know:
How strong are they?
Would a 2.0 turbo zetec fit?
What gearboxs wouold fit with a Zetec?
thanks in advance

*How strong are they?

Very, I've not heard of an Indy with any structural problems, and that's with everything from Turbo'd Hyabusas to RV8s and everything in between fitted.

*Would a 2.0 turbo zetec fit?

Already been done, someone on here fitted a Supercharger to their Zetec Indy recently, didn't seem to be any problems with space.

*What gearboxs wouold fit with a Zetec?

Type9 and MT75 (from Sierras) or T5 from the Cosworth if you're running something with the power of a turbo Zetec

thanks for the info guys.
I have thought about bike engines, but i dont know anything abou the, so i am sticking with what i know and love.
But my intentions are to drop my 2.1 supercharger zetec in, and by the sound of things it should work ok.
Do the mt75 and T5 boxs fit in with no mods needed?
cheers

mt75 certainly does and the gear stick is in the right position too. I'm pretty sure the T5 is ok too but hopefully someone on here can confirm.
