    The only aus production mk1 escort 1600gt is the twincam, in which case the engine code on the vin plate will be H. Body is the type 49 so the number on the strut tower will start with CK49.....
    Unless you are refering to the mk1 1300 gt?

    Some people just put Twin Cam or Mexico/RS2000 guards or lips on Mk1's and stuck a 1600GT engine in them. I did. It was a great little car. You would need to check with a UK based website regarding the availability of a 1600GT from the factory (not including the Mexico which shared the type 49 spec shell).
