Basically i`d like to no what you need to convert a 4x4 to a 2wd, i no some things but not all, can someone give me a list of whats needed please

cheers

 

Hi! It depends on which gearbox you use. I have converted mine, but i use a MT 75 gearbox.

 

I just saw a post by BAILEY 1 and he was talking of the same thing but on an escort cosworth to 2wd, would there be much difference on the saff?

 

It would be for the T5 mate

 

To do the job properly you would need all of the 2wd running gear,fairly easy conversion to do,you need to get a prop made and fabricate a gearbox mount for the drivers side of the tunnel.....

Give me a shout if you need any info.....


I will be taking some decent res pics of the underside of mine when it is finished and posting them up to help people who want to convert thiers in the future....

 

Excellent mate, why do you need the prop made, does the 2wd one not fit, do you change the rear beam too?




cheers

 

the rear prop is smaller so it will fit the escort.

if you are using the saff shell then a 2wd prop will be ok,no need to alter.

you change the rear beam to a 2wd one if you want a 7 1/2 inch rear diff, the 4x4 beam uses a 7 inch diff.

 

Sorry fella.......As Dave says the 2wd prop fits the saffy shell no probs,you only need to make one if you are going 2wd on an escos..

 

Cheers boys, i think i can source a donour car but i still wasnt sure of what to change over, its not a defo yet too, its for one of my mates, he`s got his 4x4 and kept breaking gear boxes so got a big tooth and i think 2nd is on its way out, he`s not had much luck and pondered the thought of going 2wd

cheers for the help, if he should go through with it i`ll give yous a shout if were getting stuck



cheers

 

I use my MT 75 and have over 400 bhp with no problems, and then you have the right gear stick and synchromesh on reverse too! I let you know when my gearbox breaks, and if it does i get a new one on the scrapyard for 150 quid.

 

Johnnie ive got a spare prop here if he's struggling

take its who im thinking of thats doing it ?

 

I mate its who your thinking of, lol, its just a thought running round his mind at the minute, you no what he`s like, but the topic keeps coming up so i thought i would ask a bit about it first before he dive`s in



What you driving now mate? you going on sunday?

 

Sound Sound, know whats he's like but cant fault the man

Will be there on Sunday but pulled out of track.

Not building the car up then pulling it all apart to paint it afterwards

Any of you lot on track ?

 

Na mate no track action for us, i`ll just be happy to be on the road youl find me at the burger van, or snooping around looking for a deal

 

I'll be with Andy in the saff or sitting somewhere wi a carry out

Excellent mate, see you soon

 

Aye catch you there

With any luck I'll have finished the carry out and be driving his saff by the time you arrive

 

 

Couldnt be any worse than that time at Crail

 

A no mate, you had a bottle of miller plumbed into you all day

 

No no dude that was Andy, I had an intravenous cannabis drip that day

Might have had a few bottles too but I was trailering that day
