Sounds good im keen to try come.

I'm keen im just worried about ripping my floor out, do you have to reinforce the floor where they weld on? any science to this or just weld to diff and weld to body?

What I'm part way through doing to my mk1 Hardend oversize stainless steel valves Stainless steel valve seat Valves fitted with dual angel seats Head face machined Port and Polish Cam kit (keepers, followers and retainers) Alloy Rocker Cover Block sonic tested, bored and machined New oversized High Compression pistons New water pump New High pressure and high volume oil pump Electronic fuel pump Electronic ignition(megajolt) Then theres the intake and exhaust to do, I've sorted my exhaust and want to sort out my intake now, if anyone has any exp on side or down drafts I'd love to hear from you, i hav heard sides dont fit in to well.

Zetecs cheap as chips, its the modding that'll get cha depends on what you wanna do with the engine but any early black top zetec would be mint. The new duratec is the same as zetec just with a alloy block that apparntly isnt as good at putting the power through and putting up with the same thrashing. Search burton power on google, they will sell you everything you need for the conversion, you can just look at there pics and have a go at making it yourself or get some local fabricator to for you. Another option could be rebuild the kent, beleave me 3k doesnt even go that far on rebuilding one seriously. A reasonable build on the kent will see you over 100hp with excellent throttle responce, also avoids getting a cert as wel as being cool nd old school.

Nice work. Did the bump stops come with a thread already in them? how much were they? I'm keen on making some for my wagon now

I thought so to as that would stop the diff winding up on the springs... How does it pivot? does it cause the diff to wind/roll?

I'd say Zetec, they look awesome in and yea keeping it ford and if u decide to chuck even more money into it you can buy some real hot stuff from like burtons for it.

Hey Nub here, what happens to your suspension travel? by the looks of things bolted to springs/diff and then touches the chasis rails? what happens when the diff trys to move up?

I just realised, this is the night of NIN, what were you thinking???

thats the calipers they are talking bout all through this thread, what problem are you having? Sorry I'm nub and this threw me 'One pair of Volvo 140, 160, 140 or 260 front brake calipers' I wasn't sure if 245 would be the same?

Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone has put a electronic dizzy into a 1600 Escort before? I'm looking to do this and was wondering what people have used and what experinces they have. Thanks

Hey nub here I'm gonna try come to this meet Why's it always at a burger fuel?

Hi there, is there anyone who has actually done this upgrade with the brakes from a 245 VOLVO? If so I'd love to hear from you. Thanks
