Cant Understand This.......

My Car is a 1972 MK1 Escort 1100L and very original only 40,000 from new and 3 owners including me but for some reason it has a 3.77 Diff and a single piece prop which doesn't add up I know the diff was an optional extra but as for the prop i wasnt aware they were fitted to the 1100's from new

 

Does anyone else know if thats original or has that been added by someone?

1100s had single piece props as standard

yes mate 1100l had single props,mine did before tinkering

mine was an 1100L and got the same

Ohhh sounds good to me

 

So does that mean its less likely to break than a normal prop?

[radar tech]

dont know matey,,,,, will find out when i manage to find a 1600 xflow to put in it

With an 1100 engine neither are likely to break, however the the two piece prop has a U/J in the middle of it and any joint is going to make it weaker than a single piece prop when you come to uprating your engine
