  1. M_C's '69 Escort V6 Coupe

    Please don't re-use the flywheel bolts... I speak from experience.

    4 to 6 inches down from the flange.

    we used to tack a bar from 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 just to give it a bit more strength.

    To the best of my knowledge, yes, a kent oil pump is a direct replacement.

    Looking good! Can you still get fishnet recaros?

    keep the V6. Too much power and the plastic pig will fall apart!

    No not really, you want an AX block for that - it was designed for really crap african petrol and is much heavier. It's the block the original rally escorts bored 1840ccs out of. 71 is the year the block was designed I think - the previous being the 68(1F), and then next mod was to put it into a fwd fiasco, which is a 77(1M) block ( and the engine mounts are wrong amongst other things ). So what you're after is a 711M6015BA block for 1600, AA for 11/1300. Not the easy to read wrong 771M6051BA!

    I have, its easy as to do. Just drill/grind/hammer the rivets out and bolt it back together with the new rubber. There's Group 4 ones come up regularly on tm for less than that. No rubber...

    Great to see it looking better already - was it a few times on TM and it made my skin crawl! I say go for the minilite look too. Is that an anti-dive kit I see there??

    Post up a few photos will you please? I'm doing this to my Mk.1, and am nervous (:

    That's not an x pack, more audi quattro really... here's a droop snoot x pack. You can see that the flares are far boxier.
