I'd like to go but its the day before the classic ford show at Santa Pod so I doubt I'll make it.

Let us know how it goes! I'm not going to make this month but will try next time!

Possibly yes! I might have to travel to Southampton but if not I'm up for it!

I'm definitely interested, Saturdays aren't the best but I'll certainly try!

Thats sad isn't it! Might try and get along there one day i suppose!

Hey guys, with the demise of the Ace Cafe meet a few years back are there any classic ford meets in town anymore?

What rear axle have you got? Did you need to change out the stockerM

Do you suppose it would have fitted without tunnel modification should you have chosen to keep it? I see there are many more autobox scorpios about and I do like a cruiser!

Ha! Nice! I take it the gearbox from the original engine was no good in the mk3?

Wow thanks and that looks great! I may hastle you for some more information at some point if I may! What car was your engine out of?

Thanks guys, would a 2.8 carb engine be a better one to source? I like the simplicity of carbs! Thanks for clearing up the gearbox question! I will make sure i get something complete with box!

Hi guys, I know this has probably been covered elsewhere but I'm struggling to find a concise answer to my questions. Essentially my 72 mk3 cortina has a 2.0 litre pinto and type 9 gearbox fitted and I'm looking to swap the pinto out for a 2.9ltr V6. I've found that I can buy rusty donor Scorpios for not allot of money so was considering just buying one to take all the parts from but I wanted to check a few things first. What do I do about gearboxes? I notice most of the 2.9 scorpios are autos which I'm quite happy with (I'd kind of prefer an automatic) but would the autobox bolt right in or would the car require modifications? I currently have a type 9 manual box which i assume would need different bell housing to mate with the V6 where I to stay manual? What age donor 2.9 should I be looking for? I see there were many variants and it was manufactured for a long time! Finally Parts wise, Besides a complete engine with wiring and ECU is there anything else I'm going to need or be aware of? Thanks guys Tim
