Remember that ST170's Mk2 Escort?

Well it's changed....just been round to my mates to watch a film, eat some pizza and see how he's getting on with this:

Until today I didn't know they bolt straight in! :love:

The YB has a Pinto bottom end and a cosworth head, the Mk2 ran a host of diiferent sized Pintos,

what's the spec of the engine? it looks so pretty in that bay, also, is the shell a 2 or 4 door?

It's crazy that they bolt straight in. It is a shame that modern engines are so darn fiddly. Simple is good.

It will also really shift with that in as the MK2's weigh very little. I bet he'd like to get his hands on MadRods engine.

You could possibly jam a short block V8 in that space.

I'd say so, the width is fine loads of clearence. It's the length that's the issue, the aux belt (is it?) at the front is only a couple of mm's away from the rad fans.

The whole lot will also be painted Flint Grey once it's finished. The bay, door shuts and all the inside has already been done.
