dyt397c Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 i`ve been thinking for a while about changing the engine in the Anglia but dont know what for. its currently got an essex v6 in it. its got a Swaymar inlet,holley carb, burton cam etc but standard heads! i could save for some modded heads but they`re £900ish and i`d still only get around 200-220bhp. was thinking of twin-turboing it but really cant be bothered! any suggestions on an engine that i could get,for around the price i`d get for the essex(£500ish)?????????
vibrating_Cake Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 seconded. price per power and ease of installing its the obvious choise
dyt397c Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Posted July 19, 2008 was thinking 24v cossie but arent they all auto`s? and quite wide, as the Anglia engine bays quite small!!
Copey Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 was thinking 24v cossie but arent they all auto`s? and quite wide, as the Anglia engine bays quite small!! a lad on here is puttin one in a mk1 fez, so i dare say it will go in!
NeilT Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 they were all auto's in the cozzy granrders they came out of but there bottom end is a 2.9 colone lumb (ie 2.8I capri) so you have a good choice of manual boxes that can fit lit check out www.caprisport they have done loads of these convertions
dyt397c Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Posted July 20, 2008 cheers for that but link dont work!! could someone with a 24v cossie do a bit of measuring up for me? width and length please.
