Can someone who has knowledge on such conversions help me out with some advice. Its going to cost me alot of money so i want to do it the cheapest possible way, where can i get hold of 4x4 rs2000 axles (or maybe the sierra 4x4 axles might fit the escort?) and will the sierra 4x4 cosworth engine fit into a mk6 escort (i know the engine mounts will need working on)? Im going to get the cosworth off my mate for £4000 (Its modified to about 450 bhp at the moment) and Rs2000 4x4's go for around £1000-£1500 (i have found a couple at this price range.
