Finally got the engine in on Saturday. had a little trouble getting gearbox to fit onto engine as it was hitting the floor.
Found myself some mk2 struts, brakes and steering rack for only 80 bux!
will post some pics up of her in next few days.
How did you guys with ur mk1 2L's do your exhaust? i wanna do a crossover so that it still come out in original spot at rear. has anyone else done this? where did you cross from right to left?

Yea 4x4 drums was no good when th 1700 GT went in, i upgraded to Capri struts and master. It ended up with a 2.1ltr, Cortina 4spd and a mega rare twincam dash(140mph/8000tach)... this is how i sold it in 1996 !

some of me engine all ready to go in and a interesting pic of me evo with the escort

i really like the white extractors, they look trick, different.

so engines in getting set up now?
