seriously. other than being nostalgic the notch has nothing on the escort. the escort is 100xs the daily the notch could ever hope to be. the escort is faster, gets twice the fuel economy, holds more people, safer, more comfortable I am sure, most likely cheaper to insure, more reliable....need I go on?
i wish you were considering selling that thing 6 months ago when i was looking for a roller/4 banger to replace my ****ed up car, i woulda bought that thing in a second
I drove a Neon for a couple of years for the gas mileage (gave up my Dakota R/T for it). I hated every moment of it, after a little while I decided that if I was going to be burning a portion of my life in a car (I drive 27 miles one way to work) that it was going to be a car I was happy to drive, see in the parking lot, etc. So I dumped the Neon and bought a WRX. I haven't regretted it for a second. Thats why I say sell the scort.
You already have a Notch that needs money and parts for the turbo. The baby stang will sit there, tease you, taunt you and will want you to put more parts on and throw more money at it. The Escort on the other hand will not. Just put gas in it, an air freshener and drive in comfort. ( get the coconut tree kind, those are my favorite)
Besides, if you put the two Notches together for to long they might breed and who knows what would come of that.
Isn't it funny how things turn out? I have a turbo, you need a turbo, you have a 351, I need a 351. Soon it will be on!

The 4 banger would make a beautiful carbed 408 swap, but honestly I would keep the escort. DA the hood, rattle can it black, clear it and you would look like every other guy who bought a compact from a wannabe import guy. The mileage is better, the need to mod it is reduced. Heck, throw in some used audio for your commutes and enjoy 30+ miles a gallon and the knowledge that no one on the Cali highways is willing to trade paint with your DD. Its a highly rewarding feeling.
