Although I have mentioned it would be suitable for mk1/2 escort use, please bear in mind that it is currently in a FWD car still so would need different sump and exhaust manifold or these ones modifying if you want to run it in a rwd car.




XE engine with 285 cams on bike bodies
3,000 miles old 285 piper BILLET cams (these are 500 quid a pair)
Steel rods, pocketed early XE (forged/pressure cast) XE pistons recent set of rings and stem seals but still manages the usual XE puff of smoke if you back off at very high rpm, pulls like a train all over the rev range, can be test driven in the car. (not a coscast head but no porous issues)
ARP rod bolts
ARP head studs
All new gaskets and seals etc during rebuild
8v baffle plate

3 options:

Bare engine - 550
(this is based on the secondhand value of the rods and cams and head studs basically so you get the all the standard bits free)

Engine with cams and bike throttle bodies and management (james murray megasquirt, adapted to fit standard loom but the adaptor could do with tidying up TBH) - 850

As above but also with the ashley exhaust manifold (small dent in one pipe to give clearance on the ARB) - 975


Bike bodies (gixxer ones IIRC, whatever they are it works great!) on what I am told is a bogg brothers manifold (I got with car so dont know history) and management seperately - 400

ashley exhaust manifold - 175

Bike bodies and inlet manifold without management - 275

Megasquirt on its own - 200




Pics from the engine freshen up last year showing it was all genuine parts used and proving the pistons are pocketed etc:

chip if mark could get someone to fit it to our mk3 escort and get a buyer for our big spec steel cvh set up he would proberly have this....

can you still get bell housing to use ford gearboxes and what clutch would be needed.

and how hard would the mount for the engine be?

Chip

You can get a bellhousing for rwd boxes but I have no idea about for a fwd escort, not something I have ever looked into, would have thought using the vauxhall box too would make more sense.
TBH though, better off just going zetec turbo in a mk3 escort surely?

xtatiana01x

Needs to be n/a really with the style of the car

He wants a k20 vtec but don't know anyone to fit it

Well priced and a nice spec, GLWTS chip.

Chip, do u have any of the 16" cessaros like u had on the nova?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

The 16" ones arent cesaros mate, they are super touring rims and are 5 stud.

Still got some but is it 4 or 5 stud you want as the 4 stud are 15 and the 5 stud are 16?

lee2cossies

iTrader: (2)

That's what I meant! They look similar! Didn't realise they were 5 stud, il have a look into what's involved in 5 stud conversion.
Also does the Ashley 4-1 manifold fit an astra gte mk2?
