Heres some reasonable argument:-
Capri, saw one with a 250 in it, nasty job, had to change crossmember too clear sump. nose heavy, lotsa brake work required. Major problems with the law!
Early cortina, not much different, except major firewall work would be needed, virtually a gasser. Same legal problems
Escort, same, even more work required. Same legal probs.
Later T series Corty, forget it, sump is way off, brakes awfull, to front heavy.
Centura? Maybe, already has six, sump should be OK, wiring difficult, has decent rear axle, possibilities!
Early falcon say xr thru xy, would fit except iduction may foul suspension towers, alloy sump on late six wont clear crossmember and isnt easily changed.
Later ea series falcon, now your getting somewhere, decent amount of room, sump should clear, decent brakes PS and a loom somewhere near what youll need.
As far as weight goes, sure a smaller car is lighter, but the EA will still be WAY lighter than a BA, up to 400kg less id say.
So this should be able to run into low 13s or even a bit faster with right axle ratio.
Having put sixes into things like ANGLIAs id say stay away from them.
My peference would be for EA/EB, can get cheapies now.
