PROJECT ESCORT MK6 VAN (rs2k engine advice needed)
HI GUYS THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU MY NEW PROJECT. HAVE OWNED THE VAN FOR 6 MONTHS NOW AND REALLY WANT TO CRACK ON NOW THE WEATHER IS GETTING SLIGHTLY BETTER.
IT STANDS AS I BOUGHT IT WITH BLACK ESCORT 15'S ON, LOWERED STUPIDLY ENOUGH, GTI FRONT BUMPER AND A FEW OTHER LITTLE BITS.
SO FAR I HAVE FITTED NEW SEATS AND CONVERTED DASH TO BLUE LED'S, CURRENTLY HAVING SOLID REAR DOORS SPRAYED IN CORRECT COLOUR. ALSO HAD IT FULLY SERVICED AND CAM BELTS CHANGED.
THINGS TO DO ASAP ARE NEW FRONT WINGS AS THEY ARE ROTTON ON THE SILL PART AND ALSO GET THE SILLS REPLACED BOTH SIDES AS ARE PRETTY ROTTEN.
FURHER PLANS ARE TO GET IT RESPRAYED AS WITH ALL FORDS ITS SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST IN MANY PLACES LIKE THE TOP OF THE FRONT WINDOW AND REAR WHEEL ARCHES.
I WILL ALSO BE WANTING TO REPLACED THE ENGINE AND THIS IS WHERE I NEED YOUR GUYS ADVICE. I WAS THINKING ABOUT RS2000 CONVERSION AS I THOUGHT THIS WILL BE THE MORE STRAIGHT FORWARD TO DO AS CONVERTING FORM A 1.8 N/A DIESEL. OR ARE THERE ANY EASIER CONVERSIONS TO DO ON TO THIS VAN?
IF YOU CAN GIVE ME ANY ADVICE REGARDS ENGINE AND THE ANCILLARIES IT WILL BE TRUELY APPRECIATED.
THE PICS BELOW ARE HOW IT LOOKS AND STANDS NOW APART FROM ADDING CLEAR INDICATORS. WILL UPDATE CONSTANTLY FROM NOW ON.
PLEASE GIVE AS MUCH ADVICE AS POSS CHEERS.
DAVE.

td engine would be the easiest swap, but there not very powerfull. I converted mine in a few dayes, but im bored already.
I would recomend 2.0 zetec N/A for now for the reliability factor and cost. thats a hell of a jump from a 1.8 derv trust me
