well folks, i was talking to this cat at work today who works at a wreckers on maisey place in vegas, i asked him if they had any 1600 escort motors in "nah, lots of 1300's though, 1600s getting a bit rare". I asked him was it worth it putting a 1600 in "for a bit more, you may aswell put a 4age or sr20de(t) in because in the end the prices will be similar"

btw i hate turbos.

thorts? and ruff prices for a finished job (incl certs)

THANKS YA'LL

I struggle to see how 1600 will be similar price to a 4a-ge or sr20.

A good 1600 xflow could set you back 300-500$ depends on any mods or condition. A 4a-ge and t50 box will probably set you back 1000$ and then you have to get the loom too, and a sr20det maybe 2000$??

Dont quote me on the prices but id say there is a differnce.

sr20de would be nice but i would say in the end anythin engine other than that will end up being coslty. for starters u would have to buy a different engine, then engine mounts etc, get it certed where as with a 1600 u wont have ot change sweet fuk all

I paid $150 for my 1600 with everything but a gearbox. Bolts straight in, same mounts as my 1300, used my 1300 flywheel just because it suited the teeth on my starter and kept with my 1300 g/box. Only thing that gave me a little trouble was the sump but that was mainly because of it being a cortina sump. Its all going sweet now though :D

yeah you at the same stage i was.. i was goign to just find a 1600 but thought fuck it will be quick but i want it to be off the hook.... and 2L goes in without to much trouble..... and you know two litre eskie just rolls off the tongue :D also the 2L has the exhaust and inlet on the opposite sides to the kent crossflows.... so i am hoping there is enogh room to have side draughts..... i don't think its possible on the 1600 cos of the brake booster being int he way... correct me if i am wrong though.....

but yeah 1600s pretty sweet... bolts straight in.. escorta only had a little trouble cos it was a 1600 from a cort....
