My Cortina 1600E started life as a bog standard car and morphed into a lower stiffer ride with a bored out 1660 engine fitted with a cam that did nothing until around 4,000 rpm when it kicked you hard in the back. It also sported a pair of webber 40 DCOE's was all ported, lightened and balanced, had a man sized exhaust and would give a 3 litre Capri a good run for it's money away from the lights.
