noz aint cheating

Ron harris's mk1 escort 4.4 and not an inch of grip! Legend

What sought of power you putting out in your mk2 mate, also what engine? So your Mr Harris, ive heard alot about you and your car in the forums plus ive see it go once, was quite impressed. Well ive got a 2.1 pinto in it at moment, i had it on the rollers about a year ago and it was 211 bhp. Earlier this year i had a full engine rebuild and 75 brake of NOS put on plus a few other little bits. I raced it in may for the first time since the rebuild and ran a 10.91 quarter, to say i was pleased would be an understatemant! I have not yet raced it over here but would be good to see what time i would be putting down.

Bright colours are the way to go i think, you cant beat a car thats had a recent spray job that jumps out and catches your eye. I once saw a bright pink fiesta though , thats taking it too far!

I would have got rid of that big ugly master cylinder as soon as i purchased the car, you could save a couple of pounds if that was off. Thats if you wanted to! I used some heat resistant paint from burtons on mine, done the trick and now it doesnt have that rusted look.

Sorry, didnt mean to cause a stir! Thanks, i will check out the other forums. Thanks also for the info jeff, will pm for any other info i need.

Obviously you can see that im new to the site because the post count to the left and i have only been to one osf meet but i was wondering what sought power you lot were getting out of these old fords? I have seen Andy Harris's pinto powered mk1 go and was shocked at how quick it actually was, what bhp is that? Who else is running quick ford engines e.g pushrods, pintos, cossie's etc?
