ST170 in Mk4 Escort???
I'm sure it's possible and been done but can anyone give me advice on fitting the 170 engine into a Mk4? How easy, whats needed, TB's etc?
All advice good or bad and thread links appreciated as i have been offered a complete car.
Cheers

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
ron , if the focus is a whole car you might be better prepping that for track as it will end up a better handling track car than the escort and already has decent brakes etc ,
punt the escort for the focus bits you need , cage and coil overs

Cheers lads, I'm in limbo land right now!
Fancy an older motor with modern engine and power, was thinking ST engined but unsure.
N/A would be more along my lines I think, bit more reliability!
I agree the Focus would be a better long term buy but it has the wrong badge!!
Looks like Ford Fair out the way and a for sale add then!!
Appreciate the feedback, should o kept the feckin 205!!!
Cheeerrrsss

Doddle to fit the engine, use an RST box when you have thrown the DMF away!
I run throttle bodies on mine and it's silly quick, 100% reliable, sounds awesome and I also see 40mpg on the motorway
If your local to me your welcome to come and have a look round my car to see what's involved

you should just buy my Fiesta Ron, and be done with it, has all the right bits fitted, is very reliable, forged ST170 engine and over 200 bhp normally aspirated
Ill be at Ford Fair with my car at the weekend, come over to the West of Scotland RSOC stand to have a look and chat about conversions

Boost monster on here and his son have just done the conversion on a 1.1 mk2 fiesta. Pretty much exactly the same as what your looking at I’ll find the build thread and post the link
