No difference between  Escort 1300 and 1600 sumps. Sounds like the engine maybe out of another Ford with a different sump or the engine mounts are fucked. Engine mounts are the same as well the 1600 block as a higher deck height

 Engine mounts are all good , had a decent look at them tonight. Nah its definitely a 1600 ford escort engine , I think the sump may be a Cortina sump or something. I've been doing some research since I put this post up and apparently their is a difference with sumps and mounts but need some solid evidence .lol

From memory an escort 1600 sump has slightly more clearance near the pan rails for the rod bolts? You can panelbeat a 1300 one to work.

At least I think that was how it works. It was 1996 when I last messed around with one.

Also if you use a 1300 oil pickup in a 1600 the rod bolts hit it.

I know that one because I had to pull the motor out of my escort 3 times to find the knocking noise

Its a 681f block , I'm pretty sure the sump cleared and wasn't knocking lol. Apparently cortina engine mounts can be fitted. I'm about to go on palmside and see what there mounts look like for comparison.

Thanks for all the replies , I shall be back for more help thru out my build.

I've tried the shimming out of the mounts with spacers so will have to look into new mounts or Corrina ones. Its going to be awhile till I can put the motor back in , but I'm looking into it now so I don't have to fluff around with it when I'm ready.

Port and polish will be well layed out for your engine, I assume there's a vizard book or something that you can copy from.

Get a couple of carbide burrs and little flap disk's. Start by just cleaning the castings up and matching them to your gasket size
