Anyone able to do me an engine swap?
Just bought a lovely little mk4 escort. It's in really good shape as it was dried stored for 10 years up to 2012. With 2 owners.
Was then resprayed in performance blue, all new brakes and lines, fully polybushed, cage fitted , 60mm Spax shocks and springs, full decat exhaust system etc etc some xr3 bits put on and it's a 99% rust free example (only showing slight surface rust around the fuel filler which I'm having done) .. Really chuffed with how she handles and looks.
BUT..!! it's a 1.3 4 speed, and I'm after an engine change. I don't want anything fancy, not going for speed or anything mad. Just something that can keep up with the traffic and sit at motorway speeds. I've read on a number of threads that the 1.8 zetec is the easiest.
I'M AFTER SOMEONE WHO CAN SOURCE AND FIT THE NEW ENGINE AND GEARBOX AND HOW MUCH?
I'm located in Essex, near lakeside.
Thanks

you might want to post a thread in another section as this is for part swaps. Try the general car related discussions section!
