    Retro Ford water rail diamter

    Hi,

    I need two dimensions of retro ford water rail:
    1. The diameter of the pipe.
    2. Thickness at the back of engine (between the engine and the bulkhead)

    Cheers
    Jarek

    Just measured mine for you and the pipe dia is 38mm. And it comes out 28mm from the back of the head.
    Don't know what your putting it in but I can tell you if it's in a mk1 escort the fuse box will definitely need moving.

    Depends on how you install the engine and what crossmember - enginemounts you use. Most likely you will need a cut out in the bulkhead.
    I am using Raceline - Milton World Cup crossmember and Retro Ford engine mounts and it clears the bulkhead
    Picture borrowed from the old 105speed.com forum I think prepping for a Retro Ford water rail
