someone does a full kit for fitting a 16v vauxhall motor into an escort .. can't remember who at the moment but all the bits are available off the shelf from various sources so its not too hard a jobhttp://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif

thanx m8. if anybody has any more info ? i could use all the advice i can get!! the motor is a clean 1 and has no rattles. any one know if i can adapt the rear disc conversion to fit me mk1 as it has the usual drum inside the disc so the handbrake is easy to sort and doesnt need a master cylinder to work it.
regards

Andy,

The company you need to call are SBD (SB Developments) on 0208 391 0121.. They are the experts of fitting these engines to MK1 & 2 Escorts and can sell you all the kit needed.

Check out May 2000 Classic Ford for an article of a MK2 with one fitted.. There have been other ones featured since but this article has all the gumph on SBD I think?? If you haven't got the mag let me know and I'll bring it along to the next RS meet with me
