I have a 205 pinto that was fitted into a Capri, obviously had to change to an alloy sump to get it to fit to my mk1 escort. Had a type 2 4 speed and 2 piece prop sitting around, so decided to see if I could get that to work rather than shelling out for a type 9. I know I’m going to need to fab a gearbox mount as my car was originally an auto, and I think I have got the correct clutch from a cortina 1.6 (215mm 20 spline).
The starter motor that came with the engine doesn’t seem to want to fit, hitting the alloy sump.
Anyone know which one I need to use?
And can anyone foresee any other problems?
