As the title, I'm wondering how much work is involved in converting an RS2000 4x4 to a 4x4 escort cosworth? I'm looking for a project to do over the winter to ideally have ready to track next spring, and thought this would be interesting.

Currently have an impreza, and was going to buy an old Sti as a project, but I fancy something different.

So has anyone here done a cosworth conversion on a 4x4 RS2000? What is involved?


Thanks, Alan

 

using the rs2000 4x4 running gear?

 

No I would source cosworth running gear

 

then whats the point?

might aswel buy an EsCos Shell & go on from there

 

True. Have you any idea of costs involved? If I did this it would be my first time attempting something like this. Don't mind jumping in at the deepend though.

 

mate are u looking 4 a escort cosworth i no wher 1 is fink its still has running gear in it 2

 

Not really looking yet. Just trying to get a rough idea of costs etc, because i've got a few different cars in mind at the mo. Thanks anyway

 

RS2000 4x4 has the engine mounted the same as all the front wheel drive Escorts, if you are going to bother starting with the 4x4 shell use EVO running gear
