a jap engine in an osf?

 

i been thinking about engien upgrades and cos i wanna make my escort into a drift car (but keep the sleeper look) i was thinkgin about engine possibilities.

 

just wanna get your thoughts

[bomber1]

an engine is an engine. jap lumps are more readly available and cheaper to tune. 6cyl turbo lump in ur escort and ur never go in a straight line again

[antz]

yeh i was thinking that.

 

i cant decide so im scoping out ALL my options not ruling any out ebfore i get the full info!

 

if you voted no for a jap engien can you say why please or yes

[Arched Escy]

Sounds like a plan Antz!

[marky4]

you just can't beat some of the jap engines for quality, reliability and power

[DEP]

Go for it mate, I was toying with that idea before i bought the cossie escort.

not sure on which jap engine but i like the idea of it.

 

my uncle has the original engine out of his ae86 sat in his garage gathering dust

[MK II Mark]

Do it, sounds good

[Jimsiss]

go for the 4A-GE engine out of the 86 then you can uprgrade to the 20v turbo unit later, it'll be a near straight swap

[escort new boy]

mate go for it who cares what others think its your car

[antz]

im not 100% on the idea so i wanted peoples opinions.

 

i dont wanna jump into it and regret it.

Don't expect it to be cheap though mate what ever engine you choose, unless it was in an escort bay to begin with it's gonna cost to get it running in there

[antz]

it was in a ae86 that stood for 4 years.

 

started first turn of the key though.

 

i know it would cost money but every engine will! cossiue is way out my budget and even a 1700 xflow would cost a lot!

Tuned Pinto would be cheaper.
