how had is it to transplant the loom and engine etc into summit else ??

what sort of time period to do a full in and out conversion ??
any hard bits to get woried about if you have never even thought of doing one??

thanks in advance

Jim Galbally

done it before and got both cars side by side?

a day perhaps? maybe a weekend?

it's as simple as putting a RST engine in an escort cabby etc.

hard bits? bending exhaust downpipe, lifting engine (it's heavy)

not too hard even if your previous experience is changing a wheel! wiring can be the pain unless you have some diagrames or someone to point you in the right direction.

a ford mecanic mate bought the granada complete and 8 evenings after work drove his sierra 4x4 powered buy the 24v

so not too hard to do then ... can have access to ramps and whizzzy guns just wondering how hard it might be to do intime for next weekend

the word simple comes to mind, just make sure you carefull pulling the engine loom out the granny then its just down pipes, thats if you using a existing v6 car. else there will be gear box issues

JohnnyB

Eagle that will be fine, but if you get a fucking heathy 24v and a old xr4i type 9 box it will soom fuck the box up in a big way

If every thing is there then its not a long job at all really easy enough to complete in a weekend (I have transplanted one into a 3.0 capri in a weekend) so its not a hard job.

Wont be any fun on an auto box tho and you may find propshaft issues im just guessing as i never fitted the auto box back in lol always been with a manual.

If you have a 4i already all the bits are there except the down pipes will need to me modded and then made to your existing system not a major thing if your handy with a welder and have a few bits of pipe lying around and as for wiring well thats easy too but then i would say that i have done god knows how many lol

Jim Galbally

on an XR4i you may have a few more issues with wiring any maybe starter motors?

Nope jim no issues with anything just exhaust if your only changing the engine

You have to use the 24v starter motor as the 4i V6 one is too big.
