I like the " not the same as the next blokes " build this guy has put together with his mk1.

Back where I come from there are quite a few Rotary installations into Escort's and Cortina's.

In Classic Ford mags defence it does say on the cover RESTORE MAINTAIN and MODIFY !

...hey Jules.....do you think your feature had anything to do with the rise in the popularity of Jap engines in the uk???????

I think you have a lot to answer for young lady.....now go to your garage and stay there for a month![88]

that pink van is ok though I prefer black interior but why go all to that trouble and not install the sexy twin cam dash [x2x]

Bring on the V8 corty....[}:)][}:)]

The XE is the same engine we have in our 2.0 16V Holden Calibra, to my knowledge, no one has completed one here in oz?

wats wrong with half of u? i jus read the whole thread and u's r kidding ur self...
that mk1 is an awsum car... and the guy has obiviously spent alot of time and money... its clean and looks good doesnt have a hektic autosalon paintjob with airbrushing all over it or discusting chrome wheels which dont belong on any car...

so putting an sr in it is running out of money?
not every 1 can afford to source and build a cosworth... dont get me wrong i love cosworths...
y not put an sr in it? sure its not that different but there cheap to buy get parts easy and cheap and still make 400rwhp with ease and still be driveable and reliable...

IFyou can get some of the guys with cosworth conversions to tell you the truth, some will tell you that if they could do it all again they would choose the SR20DET. It's cheaper to do overall, parts are everywhere & can belt out a poo poo load of power.
