Hello friends sharing with you on my dad's xpack 1700 escort engine overhaul xflow 1700 enlarged to 1800 sharing with you pictures that i was also part i painted the engine block after engraving and now pictures

There are more pictures but I will be able to upload them all��
Let’s see some pics of the car
Some more info regarding the engine please? The crank looks cast and I was under the impression that once you'd max'd out the bore @ 83.5mm then any capacity increases were with a stroked crank? It also doesn't appear to have any clearance grinding for rods / block necessary with a stroke increase? Whilst I don't mentally link x-flow and x-pack - why 1800? An all steel 1700 screamer would have more 'Hot Rod' heritage (here in the UK at least!)
This is an engine that my dad is renovating I will ask you say from this block can you build a BDA COSWORTH engine? Would love to know a bitOriginally Posted by katana
I did some searching and it seems I was incorrect regarding the stroking requirement - bigger bores are possible but not without work - see attached quote
In 1970, the 1701 cc BDB was created for the Escort RS1600, and this engine received fuel injection for the first time in the series as 1701 cc BDC. Two years later, the BDA series was adopted for Formula 2; first came the 1790 cc BDE, then the 1927 cc BDF eventually reaching a maximum of 1975 cc BDG in 1973. As the bore size reached ever closer to the bore center distance, leaving little space in between cylinders, the all three types had brazed-in cylinder liners to the block.
