Hey , right i have just bought a mk3 escort (xr3i) and have an RS2000 engine from a mk5 escort which i want to put in it. Just trying to pick peoples brains really, see if someone is experienced with both models. The main problems will probably be engine mounts and wiring loom - i think. Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks.

thanks still any help especially about engine mounts would be great.

 

Got any details on it as my brother has just sold his Mk3 xr3i??

 

its caspian blue leaks oil the moment it goes in and has recaro interior

 

have you checked the search part in that forum mate? think there is a couple of guys posted about this conversion ??

 

hi again mate this is easy to do all you need is mk6 rs2000 rear engine mount as they are different to the zetec one and engine loom ecu and fuel pump just read there has been a few of these done and thay al said its very easy to do mate ??hope that helps you

 

i half did this to a mark 4 xr3i mate and the hardest bit was the engine mount - had to strip the car though as lost storage i reckon it'd be a worthwhile conversion though

 

hey thanks for all your help lads

 

Alright stu, gunna do it yourself then???lol

 

yeah i can try lol anyone know if the mk5 rs2000 mount is the same as the mk6 one?
