MightyJoe Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Escort crossflow is rear bowl sump and cortina is front bowl . Escort enfine mounts are 35mm and cortina are 55mm. Or vice versa. Can't remember. I have a set of cortina ones you can have for mocking up if you want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh k so perhaps I have a cortina sump then. I'm awhile away from mocking it up but thank you for your offer mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusepy82 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 OK , I figured something was up as the engine oil dipstick is for a 711 engine and never gave me an accurate reading . guess I'll have to sort that too. Any thoughts why you would put a cortina sump on escort engine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 MK3 Cortina has rear bowl sump too, won't fit in an Escort either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJoe Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 bits and pieces of a few cars lol. you need 35mm for an escort, and a rear bowl sump to clear the crossmember. but theres heaps of info on uk sites about these too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Those different sized engine mounts are normal, for them up one way and the engine will sit way on the piss, so it’s pretty obvious those round ones were originally used on the pinto, but have since been used on heaps of setups including crossflows because it’s a simple shape 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm going to have to mock it up with new mounts and the old sump on and see if it improves the clearance at the steering rack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the mounts in the engine bay, you'll see they are not the same length and the uneven length of your steel parts of the engine mounts will even it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
