Right just aquired a clean mk4 ecort eclipse for buttons from a work mate and was wondering what parts I would need to drop a 1.6 CVH into it?? I will be doing all the work myself just want an idea of the parts I would need to complete the transplant?

Thanks

Carl

 

hi mate,really you need the whole front end really,like brakes,anti roll bar,suspension,as for sticking it in,it aint to hard,if your keeping a carb on it,then its easy,but if your gonna stick MFI injection,you will need the loom,best off buying a whole 1600 CVH car,a donor,makes life easier!
and if ya need a hand PM me

 

Sticking with the carb mate only reason for the change is to get rid of the 1.3 rattle box so you reckon i should keep an eye out for a 1.6 mk4 escort to rape then, thanks m8y

top name by the way
yes,be easier,then you know its all there,clips,pipes and so on!

 

Cheers mate aint got a bad name ya self LOL

 

lol,good luck with the work,tell me how ya get on

 

and theres me thinking what the fudge they on about - names??!!!
lol!

too much coursework!!
orion crazy carl your advice sounds like the best idea, buying all seperatly does take more time and costs more money and you end up forgetting things!!

Did this conversion myself mate in a bonus - very easy and worthwhile.

Best bet is to buy a complete 1600 donor car, put engine in (same mounts) use radiator, hoses etc from donor car and a bit of wiring.

Gies a shout if I can help, will try my best!

 

Thanks a lot guys will keep ya all posted as and when i find a suitable donor car!
