I'm researching info for a project.
I am in the US and have a 1993 Ford Mustang. It is equiped with a 110 hp 2.3L four cylinder engine. Which has roots back to the pinto of the 70's.
I have read numerous times that the head from a Cosworth Turbo RS500 will not fit the US spec block. This has never been confirmed nor denied by Ford, but usually denied by Builders.
However I have looked at pictures of both blocks and it seems to me the blocks are much more similar than people think. Very very similar.
What I need to find out if the head will fit or not, is either a rubbing, or preferably a paper or carboard template made to match the mating surface of the head. And if the oil/cooling passages could be labelled, it would be a major help as well. A good sturdy piece of thick paper and an exacto knife would do the job well.
Any one willing to help a stupid american?
While I am an american, I can assure you I am no way affiliated with Bush, and voted for the other guy.
