dalmarshall Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 My Mk1 escort has been for a visit to WPE HQ for some work. first, a nice new 1700 x flow My brief to Wayne was simple.....'make it fast but still driveable' The result is amazing and I'm over the moon with it....sounds great and goes like stink Twin 45s +90 over bore WPE spec cam 105 speed manifold and system Facet fuel pump Head ported etc etc I also had a 3J LSD fitted, along with new fuel lines throughout. big header alloy rad. He also sorted out some electrical niggles that were draining the battery while it was there so now the cibies all work as they should The brake servo was also removed in favour of a Wilwood limited space master cylinder and I must say, contrary to what many folk say, they work tip top! Great progressive pedal feel and you don't need a heavy foot to use them. I can't recommend WPE enough, big thanks to Wayne 8
gearbox100 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 looks nice sat in that engine bay, what sort of power are you expecting?
dalmarshall Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Posted February 3, 2015 Cheers! I'm not sure what it'll make power wise but it feels pretty good.....150ish maybe.. It will be interesting to find out once I've run it in
