And misc bits and bobs

Engine Spec

• 205 block honed
• Mahle forged pistons
• Shot peened and polished rods
• 7.6.1 compression
• Cosworth bearings
• Total seal piston rings
• EN40b mountune crank fully polished (standard journal)
• Rotating assembly fully balanced
• Lightened and balanced fly wheel
• Mountune Gated and baffled big wing sump
• High pressure oil pump
• Head ported and worked to RS500 touring car spec
• Cams ground to custom profile
• 3 angle valve seats
• Bronze guides
• Inlet and exhaust ported to match head
• Swedish inlet manifold
• Shortened exhaust manifold to suit larger turbo
• Ex hill climb T4 turbo machined rear to .70 F1 shaft Sourced by Field Motorsport

The spec list above does little to reflect the time and effort that has gone into this engine (especially the head) After Bob was finished Engine has been run in and mapped on the dyno By Tommy Field at Field Motorsport to which it made a conservative 465bhp and 440ftlb of torque which we agreed was plenty for a MK2 escort!
Please bear in mind these Engines are getting rarer by the day almost, and even rarer to find a turnkey example with such pedigree.

£22,500 ono
