a 1600 for my cortina... spoke to some guy today who wrote of his mk2 escort years ago but still has the engine. it aint been ran up for a year. he has done the evil idea of saying name me a price and i'll see so....

how much is a 1600 xflow worth with a kent cam in?

cheers

Josh

[Mr Sam]

sump will more than likely be wrong and believe you me getting hold of a front bopwl sump is easier said than done

[lee_capri]

i would'nt pay no more than £100 for it me my self,unless i could hear it running,you might want to check the lug's on the cam as well before offering him money,has it might be worne,trouble wiht buying something you cant test or hear is that their is the small amount out their who will do any-thing to get some cash.

[Josh_gsy]

so putting a 1600 xflow in aint just a case of take one out drop one in?! damn!

[Gareth]

You'll already have a front bowl sump on the existing engine....

 

I'm sure they're the same capacity

[Josh_gsy]

how can i/where can i found out whether the are/or not?

[bomber1]

a 1300 x-flow sump wont go on a 1600.

[BIGKEV]

offer him £40

[deluxemk1]

yeah fair price I reckon. You need a m2 cortina 1600e sump to put it the right way round. try this number 01344 304064 or 07802811566 classic ford parts bracknell .Think the guys name is paul if memory serves me right really good bloke ive had loads of stuff off him in the past.

there's a front bowl 1600 for sale in the Old Skool parts room mate - have that and then i'll have the rear bowl escort one off ya

[Josh_gsy]

yea nice i'll see how much he wants for this engine and i'll let you know bout the sump if i get it!

[Dalek]

a 1300 x-flow sump wont go on a 1600.

 

Yes it will... but the crank will rub on it.... You can bash the sump out to clear (bodge) but you would be better getting the correct sump. So you will need a rubber seal type sump since it's an escort based engine, front and rear covers, pickup pipe and a dipstick.

cheers

do i not have to by the dipstick after tho... so i can make sure it is the right lenght depending on how much oil is in there?
