Hi mate,
Engine is totally standard spec, no modifications, so a blank canvas. Even in standard form it will give your car a good kick up the arse though. Most converted cars I've seen will easily go into the low 8s to 60, which is a good second off the standard 1.8 sprint times.
Clutch was for a standard Escort box, so would be fine in your car, just bolt your box up to the engine, or take the box I have sitting here with it.
It will bolt straight in, just take the mounts off your 1.8 engine, bolt them to this and put it in. Simple as that!
I'll be back in Norfolk next weekend, so it will be ready for collection any time after that. If it makes it any easier, I "might" be able to bring it back to Stafford with me. I'm not sure if that would have any effect on your travel distance. Maybe knock it down to 4 hours. Drop me a PM if you're interested anyway, perhaps we can come to an arrangement
