Im thinking of maybe trying and fitting a V6 engine from a mondeo into a mk4 escort. I was looking at a V6 mondeo at work the other day and thought if I moved the alternator to the front where the air con compressor lives, make an engine mount to bolt where the alternator was and it also looks like I could mate the block to a cvh gearbox It may be possible. I know its not to everyones tastes but its definately something different. I thought the main problem would be wether the engine as a whole would it fit in the bay of mk3 or mk4 escort. Anybody got any ideas on this?

I apologise in advance if this has already been discussed but ive looked and cant find anything.

 

Its cool to be different but can be more expensive

my next door neighbour has 4 Ford Granadas and is always trying to get me to buy his spare rebuilt 2.9 24v engine for fitment in my mk3 zetec tubby project.

Keeps winging about how my 2litre zetec is a small engine lol

Good luck with your decision.

 

i dont know of one personally but a while a go there was one on ebay but it was a cab!!!!

 

just out of interest has the mondao v6 got sensors on if so you will need the loom sounds greaf then wot about an older type v6 with no sensers like cavilier possibly

 

there has been one put in a mk4 escort cabby, it was a the engine out of a mondeo st24- 2.5 24valve jobby.
not an easy conversion but can be done.

heres a link to a project thread on another forum

I like a challenge so I think it will be happening when I finish my zetec turbo escort. I was gonna do a transit with a granada 24valve but I prefer the escort with a mondeo V6 idea

 

yeah "scort" is half way through his RST S2, consisting of a 24v v6 duratec, but to make it a bit more nippy he's added a couple of turbo's

amazing work he has done!!!

 

i lwud love to see some one fit a old mustang v8 in a escort with some work

missions

 

Would it not be awfy nose heavy though?

Fair amount of weight in a v6 compared to a CVH
