Hi all

I'm looking to buy a fiesta RS turbo project car. The engines blown not sure what's gone bang yet but I'm looking to buy a replacement/spare engine.

My question is are the escort and fiesta rs turbo lumps the same just in different shells?

I've always had fords then I bought a BMW But Ive always missed that old ford smell and the cameraderie of old ford owners.

Thanks in advance

no mate unless u are lucky.

the escort block has no cut out for the flywheel sensor ( but i did hear that some later escorts did have these fitted but were not used


The heads are also different , the fezz heads have a cut out inlet side for the injectors

im sure the crank rods and pistons are the same

you can drill the hole for the crank shaft sensor i have done a few now with great results but also the cylinder heads are diffrent

Don't let it put you off as plenty of frst engines come up, have 2 in the garage, one as a spare

you could also get an adapter plate for the inlet if you were struggling

Thanks for help and advice chaps but change of plan going build up a 2ltr zetec turbo lump going to take my time and forge it ect so itl be reliable and have a decent bhp.

Think I'm going to build engine then decide what car to put it in so could still buy fiesta and still it in there. Anybody know if its easily done engine mounts ect ?
