lotusless Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 I remember one in classic ford mag ( i think ) one of the very early issue's, anyone else remember that escort ?
escortmad79 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 One here: http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/to ... ew-member/ The one in Classic Ford was red & bubble arched
deltamal Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 That would be a good one to do cos it's different and a bit unique! fast as well
theloudboy Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 There is a guy on turbosport who is doing this, he comes on here but has not started a thread.
Skimmer Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Im sure ive seen a Yellow or mustardy ??? coloured MK1 with this engine in and though not 100% sure it was at the Ford show ,silverstone last year or possibly the year before ???.......probably wrong
dalmarshall Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 That'll be my one Its a 2.2, same bore, different stroke to 2.0. It will need a bulkhead mod due to the length and larger gearbox tunnel to fit
waz Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Posted February 23, 2012 cool ive been chatting to a lotus man and he said the jensen lotus lump is a waste of space compared to when lotus re did it not so sure now
dalmarshall Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Yes the Jensen one only had about 140bhp I think, Lotus 2.0 was about 150, then 2.2's are 160 to 180bhp depending on model/spec
john_3.0s Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I remember one in classic ford mag ( i think ) one of the very early issue's, anyone else remember that escort ? I remember that car, was signal orange / sebring red as i recall but that was 10 odd yrs ago now
Skimmer Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Thats the 1 ......my memory still works ....Just... That'll be my one Its a 2.2, same bore, different stroke to 2.0. It will need a bulkhead mod due to the length and larger gearbox tunnel to fit
