Nice one G, I'll be able to breath fresh air now. Not because this one wont smoke, but because you'll be further ahead of me
This was the first dummy build on some second hand pistons i bought but had a change of heart as the wossners came up
Nice one Gordy

1969 'Big Wing' MK1 Escort
1972 MK3 Cortina 1600XL
1984 Sierra XR4i
And other junk I don't like to talk about!
So how much have you spent on your budget build then?
total cost was just over £1100 including my 105 speed manifold
Top build this Gordy, can't wait to the new stove up front pulling the old lady along!!
New pistons, new rods and a standard pinto crank as it might buzz t0 7500 but not often enough to worry it
Screaming 1300 mexico rep
Nice work and great head porting. Nicely done.
Is it already burning rubber on the car?
P.S.
Not in the car yet as want to paint the engine bay and tidy some other bits.
Ok.
Just want to see how it will perform on the road.
P.S.
How the hell have you done this on £1100 ???!!!
Wossner pistons ~ £400 +
Rods ~ £400 +
Cams ~ £300 +
Donor head £200 +
New oil pump ~ £80 +
plus the manifold (s)
You must have been wearing a very low cut top when you were shopping for those bits mate! lol.
Excellent work mate, If it goes as good as it looks you will building a few more for people no doubt!!
Looks the nuts
Old skool forever
Just don`t tell the wife
how much it really costs!
well its finally made its way into the freshly painted bay, bit of wiring and the coolant system and good to go .... hopefully lol
Looks great.
4-1, Tony law manifold?
P.S.
This is the original 105speed one i bought for it at the begining. I have a tony law manifold but its away for blasting
that looks the nuts! , and the fact you built it for that price is amazing, you must be a right hit with the ladies you big spender you
