it is a 1.3 valencia from a mk3/4 escort.... essentially the same block as a 1.1 valencia from a fiesta but slightly taller and with the 5 bearings... inlet and exhaust ports are exactly the same as the 1.1....

spark plugs stick straight out, not like the crossflow 1.3 and 1.6 that the middle 2 plugs point outover.....

it is stamped 1986 which means its allready converted for unleaded... and stamped 13 !!

i have the old 1.1 valencia in my garage still to compare and they look exactly the same except for when you open it up (bigger cylinder bores) that relate to the sizes in the haynes for the escort engine but a bit bigger because of the max overbore it has...

there is such a thing as a 1.3 valencia... thanks for your replys people! its going to start a debate now isnt it?
