[fostersice]

how hard is it to fit a cosworth v6 24v engine to i escort mk2 rs2000

 

anyone done this

 

any input would be good

Here in Holland there's one running an Eaton M90 on top.

Its the same amount of work putting a 2.8Injector in it.

 

If Ford could put an Essex in the mk1 you shure can put an 24V in amk2.

i want to twin turbo it as well

You wouldnt believe the work involved in putting a TT24v in and ecort. We gave up and the whole project was canned

[fostersice]

What did you go with in the end

I think not !

 

The 24v is not far off the width of the escorts inner wings

 

but yes it can be done cos it WILL fit, all be it with a LOT of work, I would'nt even think of keeping the bulkhead if i was of doing it tho, as for turbo's !! thats room to be found for turbo's, intercoolers & all the plumbing !! .... what about a vortech supercharger instead ??

Thre was a white arched mk2 with one up here built by a guy called Kurt but he apparently has sold it, not seen it about for a while. Sure it's been in one of the mags tho.

I spotted this Mk2 escort at the side of the road the other day. I stopped to see if the 2 young lads with it needed a hand, turned out the car had only just been put on the road and they were testing/mapping it on the way to Werrington hill climb where they were competing in it. This is what was under the bonnet.........

As said it does fit but to add twin turbos would require alot of work to make enough space for them.

You still got your granada then Andy ??? (want to sell it to me ??)

Definately alot of hard work to fit in an escort, much easier in a capri.

Most 4 cylinder engines fit in escorts pretty easily.

I remember that what mk2 with the 24v lump in it, very tight install and didnt go that well from what i remember.
