[:0] [:0] Congatulations Mark Looks to be nice and clean too !
Is this a rebuilt motor ?

What do you have to do with the exhaust manifold to make it fit ? it looked to close for my liking so i got a 4x4 one.

Also what are you going to do with the sump ? cut it back to clear the x-member ?

Be sure to keep us posted on your progress !! [:p][:p][^]

P.S. you had better not get this thing on the road before mine ! [}:)] [:-(] hahahaha

Rebuilt - yes.
Big wing sump from last engine, Phil is utilising the original sump.
Using 4x4 manifold to start with.

Sweet. What pickup are you using ? is it one with the spraybar to cool underneath the pistons ?

I'm sure phil mounted his engine far enough back so that it could clear the x-member.. this would also allow for better weight distribution, although in an Escort it requires a certain amount of 'choppage' to the firewall.

so you'll be using that turbo to start off with aswell ? with an autronic ecu with some suitably sized injectors ?

Yes to spraybar and mod mine. Autronic: tick!

cool as.

Are you going to retain the toyota gearbox with the cable setup ?

There's lots of room in the front there for a decent sized cooler too due to the RS front

Unless a good T5 comes up for sale...

I definitely want a decently proportioned intercooler[(#)]

Go hard,Bloody sweet find.Is it the one from Perth?
You might as well put an auto in it now,olden 2 speed powerglide?[:x)]
