Hi,
This is my mk2 Escort 4 door. Initially wanted a 2 door but as you well know they command a premium so opted for this. Looked solid so shelled out £1400 for her. With a decent shell to start with, it saves time with messing with costly repairs so I could concentrate on a new engine. The choice is a 4age 20v blacktop. I know its not a traditional engine swap however for the money its a no brainer. Reliability, lightweight, High revving and sounds great. with 170 bhp on tap, it should be a nice sleeper too
While im still waiting for the complete engine from Canada, Ive been gathering up the parts to start the project:
Type 9 Gearbox with quickshift.
Chassis Mount Kit
E30 318i Radiator
Bias Pedal Box kit (collecting this weekend)
Still to get
Type 9 to 4age alloy bellhousing
AP Racing Centre Plate
Bellhousing bolt set
Spigot bearing
32mm & 16mm diameter pipe for water lines
New Propshaft
Various front and rear suspension goodies and bigger brake setup
4age exhaust manifold
2.25 crossflow exhaust system
Apart from the AVO steering wheel and some lotus steel wheels/deep dish steels then the car should look standard with a nice stance to it. Will keep you guys informed how this project takes shape. Thanks for looking
