McNadds Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hey, Ive got an completely original '76 Eskey estate, but want to give the ol' girl a bit more go. Idea is to take the current 1300 out and keep under the bench and bolt something a bit bigger in without having to do any serious modifications. I would like to be able to return her to her original state if i was to part with her. Any ideas? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 could look at a 2.0L cortina motor. plenty of info on what required etc...or even just a 1600 if you want to keep it very simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNadds Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Cheers guys, That should be helpful and now the process of finding a motor to drop in. Might go with the simple 1600 swap. I have a mate who has a hot cam for a 1600 so i shall track him down once i get an engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escorted Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Id rather go a 1600 than a pintho. Less work and can return to factory easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheCreator Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 1600 is a waste of time, wont notice any difference really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
