if i end up buyin a 2.3 galaxy bottom end to bolt my rs2000 head to, will i be able to make it fit in a mk4 escort the same as an rs2000 engine would fit?? and will i be able to keep the rs2000 radiator etc.

plus if i end up keeping the mk4 xr3i gearbox, rs2000 head n galaxy 2.3 bottom end will the gearbox keep blowing? would it be better to put the rs2000 box with it? bit of a mouthful i know but new to all this.
just want summat different n pretty nippy

also how much can i pick up a set of throttle boddies up for which will fit the rs2000?

if anybody can help please let me know

cheers

i presume it will fit the same way mate,
id use the mtx75 if you can,
best things for you to do is get signed up on www.rs2000-16v.com as there are a few 2.3 builds going on over there.
one thing worth noting is the 2.3 isnt a direct replacement for the 2.0 bottom end.

dont worry about doing a 2.3 conversion. get a good rs2000 engine and rs turbo lsd gearbox. in mk4.... you need to cutomise the engine mount on drivers wing.
then wiring it all up.

use the rs turbo rad...

hope this helps....
