[mk2 ben]

Hi all thinking of putting a v6 mondeo engine in my mk2 cortina has anyone else done this any info and advice greatly appreciated want to put type9 box on it if poss thanks

Seems a lot of work when the 24v cosworth engine has been done before .

 

Those Mondeo v6 engines are liable for bottom end problems as well .

I've seen a st200 engine in a Capri . Looked nice but as said there about the same bhp as a cosworth v6 . The st 24 or st 200 would be a lot of work . Gearbox , engine mounts , gear box mounts , loom ,management , rad , clocks . All problems to over come . Cosworth is basic 2.3 conversion . Though it would be very different sight under the bonnet .

Get the Jaguar 3.0 V6 instead. Same engine but rear wheel drive situated so a much easier swap.

Don't they do one with a super charger on as std ?

I think that's the 4.0 v8

Now that would be worth considering, not seen that done ?

V6 mondeo has problem with cranks, can't get the parts to repair them, nobody does over size shells, and the clutch is only available from ford,

[lee_capri]

have you thought about a bmw 318 engine and box donner car would cost you about £150 and they are good for 130mph and not bad on juice either you can get them remapped i think it is to 150bhp with out spending any thing

I helped fit a P38 4.6 RV8 earlier this year, definitely a good option.

Wanna try and keep it ford powered if poss

[lee_capri]

they are 220 bhp staneard mate and probley  about 450 lbs of torque and you can get them for about £300 with out the injection system

St200 was 202 bhp and 160 fbl so possible less than a cosworth v6 . To be honest you can get that out of a pinto zetec or dohc 2.3 .
