Has anybody fitted endura engine to 4 speed cortina box

[289must]

Hi ,there seems to be plenty of fiestas & ka out there going cheap with good low mileage 8 valve endura engines. I now there the same Kent block so bolt patterns should fit but what about the shaft size and spicket bearing. Does anybody no or have done this conversation cheers gaz

Don't bother there crap nothing like a cross flow.

They are not as good as a zetec but twice the hb of 997 pre x flow which is what I'm changing, and should fit without chopping up the bulkhead . We've had a few 1.3 ka's with the 8 valve endura engines never had a problem there bullet prof and would be plenty quick enough for an old anglia. I've not seen this convertion but it's not because the engine is crap ford fitted this engine for years and been used in thousands of cars. Gaz

I've only seen it done on a mk1 Fiesta, which is absolutely no help.

 

Could be a cool little conversion, especially with the efi. Would be reliable and economical and as you say plenty powerful enough for an Anglia.

May be it's only the only ones I've worked on they have been gutless and tappety and dont like to rev.

I might be wrong but aren't the fwd Kent based engines lacking in engine mount locations?

[mr zefect]

There hcs engines don't no what the difference is but all the ones I've worked on have been awful.
