Good stuff Rhys

leave the roof rack and visor and lower it 2 inches! love the dish on the steelies

All dyno tuned and running nicely.
Pulled 76.1rwkws which I'm happy with considering it still runs a downdraught and factory air filter.

Will get some enjoyment out of it now.

76kw! If thats the std cam then I'm utterly amazed!

Nice work Rhys. Is that the head and cam from my old one? I will be on the hunt for an escort for a daily soon so I will let you know when so you can keep an eye out for me

Yep mostly same parts still in the head, had it reco'd but main parts still retained from before (valves, springs and cam) as they were all still in good usable condition.
The bottom end on the other hand was a dogs breakfast so I started again.

Small update, the Escort itself has been sold.
I kept the motor and have put the throttle bodies on. So far running well, jumped from 78kws, to 93kws with a bit of love. Cam timing still needs work but caught fire before we got to that 
This motor now resides in my Blue Escort.
 
I do clearly have an addiction to Green 2dr Escorts and have bought another exactly the same, all original 1600, but not as good condition. My brother and I intend to enter it in a Khanacross next month.

was that the one from marion area on gumtree?   
 
come do walky park too if your going to get it dirty. its good fun, me and a mate do it in a manual eb falcon we scored for $200. we welded the diff, welded up the engine mounts and put some harnesses in and won our class  last year haha.  put rally tires on for next round so will be moving up.  good fun
 
we were thinking about entering some khanacros too

Hi Scott,
 
Nah I think thats a 4dr and still available. No issue getting it dirty, Walky Parks a bit of a drive from here. Lanac Park is a bit closer. Will rego it and drive it there and back hopefully. Might see ya there.
