I love that engine bay

 

See the 24v on Ebay a few months back, both look nice cars mate...

 

that engine looks so at home in that bay.

 

you like your toys dont ya but if boys didnt have toys and hobbies they would be un faitfull to their ladies....... used to work for me anywaz lovely cars mate

 

seen that on ebay myself


ive got one too but its a hatchback

 

It looks well mate. I bet it goes ok to. So are these cosworth V6 engines any good then cause alot of people seem to be using them.

 

They are excellent engines for the price you pay for it, and are just over 200bhp powerwise and better fuel consumption than a 12v, but in genaral good engines.

Well done mate. Love the car and bet it goes pretty well too.

Update time

Have been busy recently

Removed engine and degreased everything

 

These came as well however the engine mounts are unsuitable for my application

 

Painted the following

engine
cam covers and plenum
manifolds and down pipes
badges and cross member

 

Looking clean, im no expert, but the paint thats gone in the inlet, could flake off and cause issues?

 

painted the engine bay and underneath

 

update

got the loom retaped and pulled back into the engine bay

also done the following

painted the brake servo and the bonnet catch

put exhaust wrap on the manifold and the down pipes

Put in bob cams and timmed them up

Painted other items from the engine bay


Wont be long now

 

farkin hell mate you have gone to a lot of trouble with the old beast fair play to you it will look the tits pal very nice work

 

Thanks sure have however it has been easier this time on the 24v than the 16v

 

good work

Nice work your doing there,well worth it

 

Keep up the good work mate

 

well folks update time

car has been sitting a while whilst i saved for these

Gaz gold coilovers

they arrived last week and got them fitted yesterday

 

looks real good m8. what paint did u use on the rocker covers and the block etc

 

well done mate, i'd love a sierra cossy lookalike with the boa 24v engine, I have it in my granada but the car is to good to break, however I would like to do a manual conversion on it. i've heard ya get better mpg, and there quicker

 

the cam covers and the plenum is two pack

the block and head was done with engine laquer

 

Has it really been that long since i have done anything to the 24v

Well update

Have been holding off doing anymore as there where a few things i have been after

Larger brake servo and master cylinder got on ebay as second chance offer for 28.00 posted(ultra rare item and the one i really wanted)

MT75 Quick shift got at ford fair for 60.00 anther(bargin)

Im glad to report i now have them

pics

 

dug this out of my file

power run when i got the car

 

so is the car back on the road?

 

No need about 2 days work

going to batter on now with it

 

how much power can the mt-75's handle? my dad has a 24v in a capri 2.8i special with the type 9 and its abit crap.... mt-75 worth getting? would they handle 300hp if he done a single turbo conversion? ta

 

MT75 alot stronger than Type 9 300bhp shouldnt be a problem

Also could go T5 but a v6 bell housing from burton power

 

the mt75 is the same box as the cossie one internally. should do fine at 300hp
