Default The Monscort Escort


Built 10 years ago now and has done many tours and classic shows, this car has many secrets and is an absolute jem to drive as it has the Duratec ST200 V6 with a Eaton M45 Supercharger fitted driving through an MT75 gearbox onto a Sierra Cosworth independent rear axle assembly which makes it very stable and gets that power down, the car has covered 15k since the build with no issues and no breakdowns

Looks fantastic.
Heavy old lump up front, how much did it effect handling? What kind of power output are you seeing with the charger strapped on?

Absolute opposite to what you might think as the all alloy ST200 is only 32kg more that the original Kent lump but with the Sierra rear axle which is twice the weight as the original axle resulting in a near balance in weight front and rear which in turn results in excellent handling (in the dry) after 10 years of driving this you are always pushing more and it never disappoints, I can't improve on it and many drivers have test drivin this car one was a former rally champion and are all surprised at how good it is. Power is at 300hp & 300lb ft torque at 5500rpm on a stock engine running an aftermarket fully programmable
