RE: mk2 escort project - mr_fish - 26-03-2014
I'm sure the RWD factor will interest a few here....myself included, get some pictures up
RE: mk2 escort project - Paul Baldwin - 26-03-2014
Subbed!
Love Mk2's. Pity I'll never, ever be able to afford one nowadays. There's not much compares to seeing one of them howling broad-side thru a forest stage
RE: mk2 escort project - 7057sam - 26-03-2014

Naaaah. Gotta be normally aspirated? How about one of these? http://www.millingtonengines.co.uk/sales/new-engines.html
Only £23,500 + VAT !!!!!
Ps. Can't see pics.
Why the baby crossflow. did it come with the car? Want to buy a 2.1 big-valve pinto for it?
RE: mk2 escort project - rallywoodhall - 26-03-2014
Yeah came with it my oh is puttong a 1670 crossflow in it for now it will become a road rally car obviously want bigger engine and other items for it but will requirw a lot of saving but gopefully will be running ready for our wedding as will be great for photographs
RE: mk2 escort project - ozonehostile - 26-03-2014
Quite rare to see a 4 door mark 2 these days!
The 1600 crossflow engines seem to get good results with some decent carbs and head work, 180bhp is certainly achievable
Thought much about suspension? I know lots of rally boys who use capri rear disc axles.
I'd love a retro ford, just wouldn't be able to deal with the retro ford premium price tag that parts command
RE: mk2 escort project - rallywoodhall - 26-03-2014
