Right folks as some of you may know i bought an escort turbo pickup at the tail end of last year and nearly 4k later on parts im stuck lol as i dont know what else to buy for it i scour ebay,rsoc website and here everyday for parts but theres nothing i havent got already!! so i need some advice cos the only thing i can do now is do something engine wise!!
i know ive spent a daft amount of money on it already but ive got no plans to sell it on so it doesnt bother me tbh!! so i was thinking of a 2.1 zvh or a 2.1 zetec turbo but im unsure what one to go for so can i have some opinions on both good and bad cheeRS

 

go with a zetec/CGi bottom end with st170 head and a decent box

or go proper bonkers and cali style it with dancing bed and wire wheels lol

 

i bought a frs engine in january for it but being a dafty i sold it on cos i had other plans but thinking back now im due a slap for being a neep lol i should have kept it and as for the cali style lol thats pimp my ride shit!! not for me thanks lol

 

RWD LOL

 

cosworth front wheel drive

 

Focus ST, Volvo T5 engine I say. (If it fits).

Benni.

 

would love to mate but the fabrication would be a proper ball ache lol

 

a guy local to me has just done this conversion on a mk1 xr2 but i asked about this on here when i had my s2 escort and was advised the cosworth lump would be really heavy and i would be better off with a zetec turbo engine

 

never seen it done before benni so i would be flying kamikaze lol!! it would be a wicked engine to slot in but its a fair size of lump eh

 

i would want to do a zetec on throttle bodies, something so unique deserves a bit of a special engine imho

 

heres a totaly new 1 thats gonna blow you away so hold on,put it back together,mot and tax it,then..................wait for it.......................................drive it instead of leaving it in the garage and covering it in stick on stainless tat!hows that for an idea?bet you have never thought of that before!

 

lol its motd its just needing all the parts fitted ive bought for it and ive not been driving it due to winter conditions and shitty salt!!! but rest assured lee she will be ready for summer!! your just upset you havent seen it yet

 

Me and murray shoved it out of the garage 3 weeks ago to have a nosey at it.he said it didnt go for some reason im sure.

 

im changing inlets at the mo so it wont go

 

Cossie lump!

 

cossie fwd mate, i looked at my mk3 today and thought of doing it

 

it would look well cool

 

well it was a joke but euro style could be cool or maybe a camo wrap

 

i kin you were joking bud i see what your on about!!! could be an option for the future
