cortina-mk1 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 why not if it fits good gee we put a jap engine in our MK1 cortina :) Aussie put all sorts of engines in cars ............ Whatevers available ! Crazy ! mainly coz the engines you have we dont get here cosworths never came in any car here except private import as for the others they seem to be mainly FWD application not sure not something that is talked about here at all.... escorts MK1 and MK2 here are usually CA18 turbo or SR20 turbo pintos are probably the most used engine
