what are the rules concerning engine size and chassis in the class you run? are you allowed spaceframes. obviously engine swaps are allowed but there must b a capacity limit im guessing?
Nicks class is up to 2 litre but you are not allowed spceframes and non standard engine for car puts you up a class
wouldn't the mini have a 2.0 vtec or is it a tuned lump from a lower class say 1600?
its an A series engine with a kad 16v head, the head being aftermarket not a production head moves it up a class
very impressive bit of kit!, thank for the info guys. Id probably have just shoved a k20 in but that's just me
would fitting a pinto in a normal mk1 be allowed or would it have to be in a rs2000?
also would a warrior head be allowed?
pinto is fine in a mk1, it doesnt matter which engine a car started with, the important thing is what engine it could of been fitted with at the factory.
warrier head would be allowed but would move it up a class
well what about a perana capri or an mgb v8?
mgb v8 would be ok, perana capri wouldnt, as the v8 was never a ford factory option
What about an engine fitted to a subsequent model? For example a CVH/Zetec in a mk1 or mk2 Escort, it was fitted to an Escort after all
name alone isnt enough, the scrutineers would take the view that a cvh/zetec cannot be fitted into a mk1 or 2 without penalties as they would regard it as the wrong engine for a car
I guess you could fit a pinto/cosworth yb in a mk5/6 Escort within the rules
if you have an escort cosworth yes, but then the escorth cosworth was a model in its own right. if you have a plain mk5 escort no
