I’ve got a MK1 Escort with a 1300 Crossflow and going to swap the engine to a 2L pinto. I’m a novice so not sure as to what needs doing and how to do it. Few Questions: Does the transmission tunnel need enlarging or is the original fine? What do you do regarding the braking system. Do I need a different type of master cylinder, servo etc or is my current one fine? Not sure if it will be in the way as it sticks out quite alot are any modifications required to the car apart from engine mounts? Is my current axle suitable? not sure which one it is but its a standard one from a 1.3 crossflow Is there anything else i should know? I’ve never done anything like this before so excuse my ignorance but definitely up to the challenge Lastly, does anyone know of or have a 2L pinto and box which is for sale? looking for a fairly decent one as the car will be my everyday driver. I’m based in Henley near Stratford. Cheers, Chris
