100e Crossflow questions...

[mk2_escort_chick]

...Just a quick one boys and gals, but realistically what is involved in putting a crossflow in a 100e?

I believe that it is a lot less time consuming than putting a pinto in,

but wanted to know the kinda things that would need to be changed.

Ta very much xxx

The bulkhead has to be chopped, unless you have a 107e, which had a a Pre X flow fitted from factory,

TBH pinto or X flow both need a lump chopping out of the car so theres not a lot of difference in the amount of work needed.

Yeah I just have an Anglia 100e, so it came with the good old sidevalve lump.

I just thought it would be cheaper and easier to pop a crossflow in it.

I know that any engine change in a 100e involves a lot of messing around

I have a 1600 xflow that has the front bowl sump fitted to it, apparently came out of a 100e and the guy said it didnt have much mods to the body for it to fit ?

 

 

 

Perhaps you could get a 107e crossmember ?

like savvi said go with 107e stuff as its all bolt in

Yo Sarah, regarding my engines... the one we originally spoke about has a front drop sump and as it's a 2737E block will have the shorter engine mount lugs. This means it will drop onto an Anglia 105E or Prefect 107E crossmember without any milling down. 711M blocks need the lugs milling down as they are longer (exhaust side of the block)

 

You will need a 107E crossmember, but you will still have to chop a bit out of your bulkhead. To be honest, I don't think it's as much as you would have to chop if you fitted an OHC as the Crossflow is shorter in height.

 

If I remember rightly, Twinkles Prefect had a Crossflow, and there were pic's of his engine bay on here... although i'm not sure if they still are

I have heard that if you make some custom engine mounts to place the X-flow apx 25mm further forward to the rad whilst using a 107E crossmember you can get away without moding the bulk head but you will still have to mod the tunnel and gearbox mountings
