escorted

lol 3 of them? good job. hmm so it pays to have a spare

How much abuse will a mk 2 diff stand up to?

This happened to me. I found it to be my condensor after shagging around for a while. Whip it out and replace it. (on my escort)

my dad had one but he rolled it down a bank.....so he cut the back of it and turned it into a ute. haha

A cosworth twin cam head will bolt on a sierra 205 block. bruce manon does that and gets a healthy 300hp

Think i should update here. I Got the engine all hooked up and started it. It started first go which i was happy about but unfortunatly oil started to piss out of the rear crank seal so it was off with the GB and driveshaft and out with the gasket cement. After a day or two of dicking about with it i finally got it all back together and drove it up the street. Then i hear sirens.........the police stopped me for the fact that it had the bonnet off and the straight pipe was 'too noisy young man" FTP.

Straight

They come out top left and bottom right. so standard cortina ones.... ill have to have a look at them at repco

What radiator hoses do you use for this conversion? i am running with a standard mk 2 radiator untill i can afford something bigger! this is the only thing left to do and i want my car ready for easter!!!

Ive gotta 1970 2 door escort 1300 super. It has drum brakes which are as handy as tits on a bull. anyone know of a commonly done disk conversion? capri disks? austin princess?

Dude its the timing man! slow down or speed up you idle. Its called "running On" it will pretty much fuck your engine so i suggest stalling it to stop it untill its fixed

MK3 cortina is the one! repco sells them 63 bux!

Old extractors vs new + my foot

UPDATE: slotted the engine in on the weekend after dicking about with the sump and mounts it fits nicely and weights down the front good and proper so it looks the nuts. Also found that my extractors that came with the engine dont clear my steering column so i splased on some good looking Cobys! OUT [/url]

Bought this beast a year and a half ago off a guy who bought it for his son....but then didnt let him drive it! No rust, gutless 1300. Since then ive lowered it front and back on superlows and 2" blocks, put some tridents on it and put a basic sterio in it. After driving the 1300 around for a while it was getting a bit tired so i ripped it out and yeap she was poked. piston slap. Naturally i binned it and picked up a 2l pinto with extractors, shaved head, really light flywheel, bigger pistons, single down draft twin choke carb and a mild cam. plus got a couple of type 9 sierra GB's. All set to drop it in.
