I have bought a T3 on the cheap to use as a trade-in or have reconditioned. I've suddenly realised that I haven't checked with the seller whether it's water-cooled. It's off of a 1989 Sierra Cossworth, is it water-cooled? Are there any other dfferences I need to be aware of when ftting it to an Fiesta RST engine?

 

Pretty sure they were all water cooled m8.

 

Yes all cossies are cooled

 

a think only t3 werent water cooled were series 1 which are just oil cooled rest are oil and water

 

Of european RS fords, yes. Otherwise, plenty of non water cooled T3s out there.

 

So to fit it to a 1600 CVH turbo I need to swap the exhaust housing to an Escort RST one.

Is this simple or are there other changes needed to accomodate the exhaust housing swap?

 

This is simple., and no changes are needed
