Arfur Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 The December 2014 edition of Classic Ford magazine is available in print and digital format now, featuring our giant Engine Swaps Special! Plus Fiesta RS guide, Cortina 2.0S resto and more! Need an excuse to head down the garage? Then check out the December edition of Classic Ford, available to download now, which is dedicated to the fine art of power unit transplants. Engine swaps have come on a long way since the salad days of the 1960s when 1500cc Pre-Crossflows were fitted into Anglias every weekend. Who’d have thought nearly 50 years on, a classic Ford enthusiast would be fitting a quad-cam, all-alloy V8 into his Thames camper, as featured in this issue, to make it more practical for today’s roads? Big engines in small Fords are nothing new, but the difference now is the quality of the conversions and the home-brewed engineering cunning involved — just like this superb, Zetec ST170-powered Anglia 105E. We’ve cherry-picked a few great examples of this in this issue, from the relative ease of a Cosworth 24-valve swap into a Capri… To the slightly insane 400 hp GM V8 in a fully road-legal Mk2 Escort, which was more of a challenge to fit, but still within the realms of a typical classic Ford nut. Check them out, then get down the garage with your tape measure and start plotting. All this plus a rare Cortina 2.0S discovery, cars, plus parts and projects for sale and a whole lot more — in the December 2014 edition, available now. The December 2014 issue of Classic Ford magazine is available from all good newsagents, supermarkets, travel outlets and petrol stations.
