A friend asked me to ask on here what works needs doing to put a YB and everything you need into a 95 1.8 LX.

Links and advice to pass on is appreciated.

 

lotts of frabrication but it can be done

 

what drive train? fwd could probably be done fairly easily

 

Martin Hadland has a thread in the resto section about his yb'd mondeo, its worth an spy.

 

new tunnel for starters i would have thought

 

Cheers for replys. Would be FWD, so anymore to add ? What is needed to do this ? Parts etc He is a novice to ford etc and i'm useless only buy ready done cars.

 

gear box tunnel
prop tunnel
engine cross member mounts and beam mounts then modified suspension top mounts front and rear

 

Cheers lads.

If he went to a garage with a standard LX, what sort of price would he be looking at if he bought all second hand parts from them ? This may or break it for him as dont think he realises how much it would cost.

 

FWD?? My advice is dont go there! Just turbo the original engine, I have just done a 362hp one of those. If you want to use a YB then the best option is not transverse.

 

prob looking at 1500 for fab work 1k for panting the bits again and about 3k in parts then about 1k to get it all ftted and running and they are all descent prices

 

go rwd not fwd!

 

No... Go 4x4

 

oh hang on i was being too sensible i thiught you ment 4wd lol

listen to what martin is saying he is talking sense

 

How much did that cosr Martin ? Rough price ? Drive in drive out etc ?

Cheers

 

well i like RWD so

 

That would be hard to quantify as there's much more to do than you would ever imagine, my Mondeo is a proper finished product and to get it to that stage takes time (expensive hours) but drive in drive out I reckon you would be spending 10k ... Sounds like a lot of money but the end result is a really stiff chassis that's way better than a Sapphire... Wheelbase is longer too.

Btw I'm not interested in doing the conversion, I'd rather have the only Mondeo Cosworth !

I understand your problem A rwd Mondeo would be a far better machine than a Sapphire so you know what you have to do....

 

Not a problem Martin only asked as a figure to go on if my friend does go ahead with it.

 

Ford should of made a bloody Mondeo Cosworth!! - save people having to make there own

 

Strangely, the mondeo looks correct between the Aston and 360.

Martin, you sure know how to build them!!!

 

4x4 is for girls

get the firenza done now that would be impressive

c'mon Martin pull ya finger out

Paul

 

Everything has its place! 4x4 is not for girls BUT the guys who can't afford the transmission always say that!!

The Firenza will be RWD, it wouldn't be right to do it any other way.

 

afaik wolf did a mondeo cosworth for ford germany
i have deffo seen other mondeos with cosworth yb's this being one

yeah m8 ur right the trans on a 4x4 would be out of my reach
just a shame you ave to work to pay the bills eh lack of time is always a pain

Paul
