Mk3 escort rwd
Hi I need a bit of advice. I've just bought a rwd mk3 escort rolling shell. It used to have a v6. I'm either going to zetec it on carbs or put a Granada cosworth in. What's needed for both. Many thanks

If its based on a sierra floorpan there are a few firms out there who do rwd mounting kits for zetecs as they fit them in anglias escorts and sierras etc etc., Stick to something light over the front. How heavy are the granny cosowrth engines?

Yep it should fit like a glove on a foot lol, if its really that heavy I may put it mid section but the running gear will be near on impossible?
