24valver

Hi, after a brief stint of owning a vauxhall (had fords since i was 14 ) i can no longer resist the urge to own a rwd ford.
Ive taken on a mates part finished sapphire 24 valve project.
So here`s how it looks at the moment.





Boot full of bits

24valver

The car is currently fitted with a type 9 gearbox, which isnt going to stand the abuse i`ll probably be giving the transmission.
Which means i have to make a hybrid gearbox using a 2.9 4x4 bell housing/maincase and a scopio turbo diesel gear set and tail section. To remove the casing you need a special tool from ford, i chose to make one today in my lunchbreak

And here it is

Nice looking cars guys. I have a cossie kit with mine but i`m not sure whether i want to fit it or not yet.

Swapped my rev counter over earlier aswell as getting the bellhousing/maincase off the xr4x4 box. Wouldnt have been able to do either so easily without the help from fordpower.org.uk. the link to the revcounter guide is http://fordpower.org.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=4919. I need to find a way of conceeling the slight gap in the corner though.

The rev counter from pre-facelift 2.9 V6 XR4x4 works fine with the 24 valve engine and fits the dash For some reason the H reg onwards ones don't ??

Its pot luck, some work some don't.

I used black tape stuck on the corner to cover the gap. What a great guide

It never even crossed my mind to use a sierra v6 rev counter

Cleared some of the stuff out of the car and found my cossie door cards have been eaten by mice Dont know if theyre still in the car or not, couldnt find any other signs of the little fookers.

Looks a good project. I had a 24v XR4x4 and it was great. No turbo lag and actually quite quick cars. My old one had cossie brakes all round, uprated suspension, fully cossie interior and MSD chip:









170mph cossie clocks and 24v rev counter:







Good luck with your conversion.
