hi does anybody know if it is possible to fit a 3 litre or 3.5 engine and box into escort mk6 look for something different.if it can be done what engines are best ?,thanks

 

Been done before so it's do able , probably best to get a rotten or damaged st24 least that way you get everything you need

 

saw a boa in a mk6 van last year, need to be shit hot at metal fabrication to make it work

 

There was a project on here a while back with a 2.5 mondeo engine which looked mounted but don't know how far he'd got into it.

The mondeo engine is huge though, the Vauxhall v6 is much more compact making it easier to fit but they'll both need a lot of time and effort to do, it's not difficult just very time consuming, if you want something different stick a jap engine in or a clio sport engine

 

A commonrail diesel engine would probably be a laugh in an Escort, 130hp and loads of torque!

 

I agree, me and my mate had the idea of a 1.8 tdci engine out of focus into my old ford ka lol, would be mentaly quick

 

If you want a properly big engine in there, look towards V8's. The Mondeo V6's and stuff like that are physically huge for what they are.

A 5.7 LS1 in there would be quality.

 

There was a mk5 xr3i shell on ebay few weeks ago with a 2.5 v6... was starting at scrap value it was blue i think , looked a bit messy though, needed lots of bodywork

 

hi thanks for replies,how about a granada scropio cosy engine and box ?

 

i have a good st24 engine and gearbox you can have for free if you want remove it from the car ( im in great yarmouth )
or you can have the car free if you sort a tow truck etc, although outside its missing parts under the bonnet is complete
