Gaz Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Whats the cortina 4 speed bellhousing for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednfast Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Read that to fit the sierra 5 speed to a cortina 2ltr you needed the cortina bell housing?, it has the sierra housing on atm. The dowels match the sierra housing but there are 2 bolts which have nothing to bolt into down the bottom. Or am I missing something?

davidian Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 shit you might as well do a batch of them yo. just import like 20 odd. ill have 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednfast Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Lol if I can get that many yea Just realised I left out fuel lines in my list. Where would I source some lines or get them made for the 2 ltr conversion? Or did you guys make them yourselves? Would rather goto Steel or Copper lines rather than the crappy plastic ones.

Guest escort_boy Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 honda civic liker a 1988 have alloy lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Go to autostop, they sell steel fuel line by the metre. Just get a pipe bending tool from repco and bend up the lines you self doesnt take too long. Make sure you flare the ends of the line.

RT Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Could make yourself a bit of cash, bring over as many 2L escort sumps and you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 i just had a quick look on ebay for some. But too expensive, even from england your looking 300bucks for an alloy rs2000 one and thats without freight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 whats wrong with silicon fuel hose? Assuming the fuel line he is talking about goes under the length of the car, I believe it has to be metal. Thats what zep and I found when we rang a certifier about running return lines down our cars. Def' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 well thats just crap. Mine isn't metal and I've got a cert.. wasn't metal to begin with anyway. Efi rated, high pressure, flame proof silicon hose.. cost about 40$ per metre. The non-efi version is much cheaper though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
