wickmyster Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Can a mk3 cortina diff bolt into and escort? How much wider are they, do the spring mount need to be moved? What ratios can you get and does having a heavier diff change the handling? Any info or advice on a cheap strong upgrade for an escort will be appreciated!

eke_zetec_RWD Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 bwt 100mm wider than escort, everything will need customising includind driveshaft. also top mounts on diff head might be in the way if u wana slam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickmyster Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Oh yeah I want something only 50mm wider....hmm Found a guy who shortens diff for $400 but I dont know the condition of the falcon diff I have at home...and it is a 2.93:1 might be a bit tall for a pinto five speed escort running 15s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 i got pinto 5speed with 3.44 capri diff. ideal for road car. 2600rpm at 100 ish on 205, 50, 15s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickmyster Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Oh yeah, i could get away with 2.93:1 then!! Just would not be a traffic light weapon. Would prob eventually get a 3.4 or 3.2 diff head or crown wheel etc from commodore, early skyline or another falcon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
