Right, I've come across a Brazilian mk4 Escort that seems to use a 1.8 VW derived engine that looks like under the bonnet of a mk2 golf! Anybody shed any light on these cars?

My reason in asking is I built a mk2 golf with a 20v turbo engine and it flew! I happen to have a 20vT engine, and would love to pop it in a mk3/4 Escort. The 20v bolted right up to a mk2 Golf engine bay and mk2 Golf gearbox with no mods.

Here is my mk2 20v

its a joint affair between ford and vw. Even the mk5/6 escorts have vw engines over there.

Anybody know anybody with one of these Escorts?

someone did join up from brazil with a mk5 xr3 a while back

Tried using google translator on a Brazil escort page - doesn't seem to work. But I think the Ford scene over there is quite big

I was out in Săo Paulo recently they've got some weird home market cars that are mix of models, they look familiar but are completely different from our versions - cheap for the local economy.
