help plz mk1 escort/sierra 16v rs2000 conversion
hi all. im most the way through my build im using a sierra 4x4 floor pan and most the running gear but im only going rwd not 4 wheel and using a rs2000 16v engine and a type 9 gear box

hi thanks for the reply i read the flywheels are the same ? but ill take it off tomorrow just got to find another one. looking at it today it looks like the starter is hitting the starter ring on the flywheel so thinking its about 4/5 teeth to big
