mk 4 escort 1.3; engine conversions?
Hello, sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section, (move it if it is), but I am interested to find out a few facts on engine conversions. You see, at current, I have a mk4 escort 1.3 pushrod, which is a good daily run about. However, I have always liked the idea of a sleeper and so forth, am thinking in the future of doing a potential conversion into it; my question is however, what ford engines will go into the mounts with no problems and another question, if my car is carb, is it possible that an injection engine will go in no probs? I was thinking a 1.8 or even 2.0 litre zetec would be nice. I'm sure it can easily as I have seen many a zetec in fiestas in fast ford but just for my own clarrification really. Lastly, what sort of things, with regards to brakes, will go straight on my hubs as my current ones are attrocious and only just handle my current power. What am I going to need to do the conversion apart from the engine (in the way of compoents such as ecu, etc); Will alot of loom chopping be required? Cheers.
