their is no acount for taste col what else can we say the escort is mad but a vauxhall engine in what hope it is in your manta coupe or your calibra 4x4 turbo or maybe your astra gte mk1 lol is it in the angle box in sig pic nelt wrong with that either kj got one in his mk1 which runs 10 seconds and who wants to run 10 seconds me do lol

what the hell can you put a citron diesel engine in other then a skip if any one has better ideas please fell free to comment

i was chatting about this earlier with her indoors i know a old skool food club that you can have any thing pre 90 which is ok if you want to look at mk1 focus ect which i dont plastic is not fantastic im just going to keep ripping engines and boxs out of mordern fords

oh no i just remembered i still own this opps lol i phoned the insurance company the other day and how dare they as im going through my list of motors the remind me ive still got a picasso which i had forgot about lol any one want to buy a 1963 humber mk1 or a picasso which i cant give away lol humber id sell for cash ran sweet till i took the engine out with twin zenith carbs and rock solid the picasso if you want pics of that well them pics cost money has it is not worth a bag of cheese and onion crisps

ive got nos lol to big shinny bottles just begging to go in to some thing because its got super charger i should think it is a low compression engine the only way to find that out is to take the head off and it will be stamped LC on top of the pistion same has pinto's that are in transits and p100 ive got to do a bit of looking at this has may be need to fit 2.9 heads to get better bhp out of it

nice pics john and i have a granny that im looking at doing it to i thought it would take a dizzy and i have a spare inlet manifold to play with in pic5 what is the blue pipe coming off inlet do you know by any chance seams like a simple enough engine swap for my granny at the mo ive got a 2.9 efi with lume to go in to it but i would rather do a 4.0 i could possible run the 2.9 lume keeping it fuel injected with twin platinum has a 2.9 comes has stranded like that and has better pick up then the 24v cossy lump having owned lots of each

i couldn't agree more PLASTIC IS NOT FANTASTIC i got a 07 plate dingo can i have that has a osf i dont think so and the rule is the rule and that is the way it should stay their is clubs for newer fords any way

what are they worth these days proper ones stamped with ford some Muppet painted them red stamped with ford for cologne engine

i looked at that you could buy that kit for 8 bolt and use a mazra rx8 of same quality plate in the middle am i right in thinking to convert to carb possable just use the old 2.3 or 2.8 granny manifold with i think it is a 500 Weber which is for a v8 il have to google to be precise john has you got engine as it got the hole at the back to drop a dizzy in to or not because in one of your pics it looks like it has a plate over it with bolt these engines must be some good because they put them in the mustang which is a huge car

are you doing this conversion at mo john interesting john on the engine mount cant you fab some steel to it on crank hole i have also been looking at seen a 6 but seen plenty of 8 also looked at fly wheel the best i can find is a 18 tdci flywheel but need to find what spline it is as would want to mate to a type9 or rx8 gear box which are both 21 spline

what do peeps know about these engines are they the same size in diameter has the old 2.8 also has any one converted one to carb on manual gear box i have seen the auto ones have a 8 bolt fly wheel

Peterborough but parts are 15 mile away at unit

2.8i type 9 gear box complete 3.0l capri gear box with rover v8 bell housing and adapter plate 2.8 engine was injection heads,block,carby manifold, front bowl sump as had it in mk2 tina clutch, fly wheel, rockers, was running fine when removed and dont need a rebuild 2.3 v6 dizzy very rare points offers

they are 220 bhp staneard mate and probley about 450 lbs of torque and you can get them for about £300 with out the injection system

then you would not work for me bud lol

dare i say and il probably get banned for this have you tried as a lot of them are down that way medway monkeys on Retards Club mate

have you thought about a bmw 318 engine and box donner car would cost you about £150 and they are good for 130mph and not bad on juice either you can get them remapped i think it is to 150bhp with out spending any thing

she is not after money she needs help to put her car back together vista if i was local i would help rusty373 club or no club moral or the story never pay a penny up front if it is a proper garage or even a plumber or possible a tree topper they wont ask for cash up front ever were is payment on completion

oh no im being pulled to the darker side of things already maybe possible bmw 318 transplant i rekion as they go well and only a 4 pot to what more do you need

possible at the pod i believe think it was any way

it that the one that crashed at the pop a few years back poss that flipped over is it the same one this would have been about 5 years ago possible

its got to be v6 or v8 sat on deep dish slot mags and a nice flame job 60s cars are some of the coolest around regardless of make if you ask me s**t ive just found another one with mot on it dare i say and it is not to far away from me either and at fair price to hard choices osf or a 60s classic to custom

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/classic-car-/112148216226?hash=item1a1c8df9a2:g:9iUAAOSwNRdX55v4 do love the older shaped cars as the all look good with a v8 and flames lol and ford wheels fit on them oh no lol

1963 Ford Zephyr 4 Mk III automatic ​think i know where im getting confused and why am i writing kike this for lol the earlier one as the same mark and numbe but just differant serrias only ford would be that dumb lol

see the differannce you have the square one not the rounded one with fins on the back
