My workmates Rs 2000 escort. Got to drive her , was wicked

Thanks torton , I'm currently looking on google at how to

Lots of info on the ol Kent engine.

I plan to take the head to machine shop , has anyone done their own porting and polishing and had good results ?

Hey me again , has anyone had to deal with cracks in the head between the  water jackets. I shall take photos if required.

Sweet as mate. I'll continue investigating...

Did you extend it yourself and angle them yourself..

I've tried the shimming out of the mounts with spacers so will have to look into new mounts or Corrina ones. Its going to be awhile till I can put the motor back in , but I'm looking into it now so I don't have to fluff around with it when I'm ready.

How I found old school : been following for a few years after I stumbled across it one day. Best day of my life 

Anything else to add : umm love old school cars and am looking for a few escort parts so pm me if you have parts ☺

If you have any ideas about clearance between engine sump and steering rack , hit up my project discussion. Thanks.

Its a 681f block , I'm pretty sure the sump cleared and wasn't knocking lol. Apparently cortina engine mounts can be fitted. I'm about to go on palmside and see what there mounts look like for comparison.

Thanks for all the replies , I shall be back for more help thru out my build.

 Engine mounts are all good , had a decent look at them tonight. Nah its definitely a 1600 ford escort engine , I think the sump may be a Cortina sump or something. I've been doing some research since I put this post up and apparently their is a difference with sumps and mounts but need some solid evidence .lol

hey , so I've decide to start working on my 77 ford escort panel van after her sitting in my shed for the last 5+ years.

tonight I stripped the sump off and also pulled off the clutch setup and flywheel.

i don't know where the motivation has come from ..

(my wife doesn't know either)

I'm not sure what this sump is off ,.if its 13 or 16.

Here's some pictures so far.

Hey , I'm currently working on my 77 ford escort pannel van. It has a 1600 block . the sump is sitting on the steering rack. What is the difference between a 1300 sump and 1600.

Also whats difference between 13 and 16 engine mounts.

Thanks .
