4x4 conversion
Hi i am going to buy my mates sierra cosworth 4x4 off him and i want to use the engine to put in a mk6 escort. Im either going to buy a RS2000 4x4 so that the axles are ready for a 4x4 engine or maybe buy the axles separate and convert a standard mk6 escort into a 4x4. Can someone who has knowledge on such conversions help me out with some advice. Its going to cost me alot of money so i want to do it the cheapest possible way, where can i get hold of 4x4 rs2000 axles (or maybe the sierra 4x4 axles might fit the escort?) and will the sierra 4x4 cosworth engine fit into a mk6 escort (i know the engine mounts will need working on)? Im going to get the cosworth off my mate for £4000 (Its modified to about 450 bhp at the moment) and Rs2000 4x4's go for around £1000-£1500 (i have found a couple at this price range.

Thanks for the reply mate, thats what i want to do. Im going to get the sierra cosworth in full working order off my mate, im also going to get an escort shell but i need to know the best way to go about doing this. I was told 'The Rs2000 4x4 transfere box WILL explode with cossie power through it' from someone, so how can i go about this problem?
