Gaz Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Xpack and other flares for these are moslt all made to wrok with a front lip.. Which in most cases are ugly for mk2 escorts. Also engine should = XR6t.. They arnt THAT expensive now.. $2500 for complete engine.. The box I guess is another $2500 but perhaps something else could handle the jandal for this front. Steel celica with adaptor maybe??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pies Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 get a 4k. you will need to run R154 gearbox with it. probably looking around 1500 all up for engine and box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Whats not an xpack? The images that kiwixr3i put up at the top of the page... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Can anyone tell me what diff is likely to be in this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 If you knew orginal motor and gearbox you could likely work it out but given that some much has been hacked at there is no way of knowing if it is the factory diff auw. Jack up a wheel and count the revolutions of wheel vs. driveshaft then divide by two. That will give you a number like 3.9, 4.1, 3.5 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 xr6 motor would be so sweet, its already cut up so much that you might not need to even cut anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 hell jeah xr6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 xr6 motor would be so sweet, its already cut up so much that you would not need to even cut anymore Thats better. Also it should be a 3.54:1 I think. The sports and ghias had that ratio. Are all 2 doors sports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It says 1300 on the guard so it poss isn't? Will look at that parking ticket i found inside it to get the plate number and try find out the history model etc 2night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 xr6 motor would be so sweet, its already cut up so much that you would not need to even cut anymore Thats better. Also it should be a 3.54:1 I think. The sports and ghias had that ratio. Are all 2 doors sports? Nope, they made 2doors in every engine size, 1100, 1300, 1600, 1800, 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 oh Could still be a 1300sport. Also, maybe even all 2 doors had that diff.. Doubt it tho. Lets just pull it and see.. If it is it can go in escort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Its not a sport its probably a popular (base model), being a 1.3 i would guess its got a 4.1:1 diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Ok how about this for an engine... Straight 6 4L out of a 1996 ford fairmont (pic stolen from TM) turns out a friend has one in his back yard he was about to scrap. Thoughts? poss a bit heavy an engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Prolly too heavy and would require a computer thingee. I would suggest a Rover V8 except they are expensive to get decent power out of - but at least they have pushrods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Would be different to run a 4.0 E* engine. Don't know that I would do it personally, but it is a 6, so.. why the fuck not!? Also, lol @ pushrodsjake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hmm true it may cause the car to sink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 It may also gay the car up 10 fold. If you want to run a straight six then turn towards the Nissan/t range IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsnik Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 It may also gay the car up 10 fold.If you want to run a straight six then turn towards the Nissan/t range IMO chris is gay, an the donor car is free... what could go wrong. buy a deregd p6 or sd1 an put the v8 made of in cans in it.

Gaz Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Lol that is true.. and good on budget. I still think better options are out there cheap. Do ya know what a full running engine and box goes for at pick a apart Mike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
