Some people telled me years ago something about the early-early-early Escorts RS Cosworth were equipped with the green top engine and the T3 from the lastest 4x4 Sierra. Can anyone tell me something more? It´s true at 100%?

CheeRS!

 

Not in my mind....


Early Escorts had a blue rocker top and had a T34.

 

Never seen or heard about one.

 

Yes, i know the T34s but i refer to something like a little series of realy early cars (first of production as they told me) sold with the green top.

It could be only a rumour from years ago i think.

 

These cars were created to meet homologation regs to enter group A rallying, why would they use an old engine and a different turbo not fit for this?
I think this is probably a story that has got confused over the years, I am sure some of the original old mules from around 90/91 maybe even before would have used Cosworth engines from what ever was available at the time (shoehorned into a mk IV RS Turbo shell anyone). These were never sold though and Ford would have had no intention to do so.
