Default Decisions decisions

Right need advise,
My engine had started to knock, I also have a Stroker engine that needs finishing(got Cdb with machined rear thrust and machined for mahle power pack pistons(machined for Cdb) and wms conrods but need crank/bearings).
If I buy crank/ bearings for my current engine I cannot afford to buy crank / bearings for the Stroker for a while.
But if I do Stroker build I cannot afford to buy ecu/esl and remap.
I'm currently using a major sarcasm chip with td05 etc.
Is there any way u can run a 2.1 with standard ecu tuning?
Will need to use current v3sti heads for Stroker engine.
What would you do??

Cheers

Buy a cheap runaround.

Then save and get the job done properly overtime by one of the well known and respected on here such as engine tuner.

So many people (Including myself) have bodged, scrimped and cut corners, only to have to start all over again.
