WANTED - Escort Engine Kent or Pinto

WANTED - Escort Engine Kent or Pinto

Hey Guys,
I am chasing a running complete Escort Engine and Gearbox. I had got rid of my one when I decided to put a zetec in it and I run out of space. I don't care what capacity; anything will do.
At the moment i don't have any parts for the original motor so I was hoping to be something reasonless complete. I would also need a gearbox auto or manual. 
 
I have a zetec sitting on a stand but have lost interest i just want to get it back on the road.
 
Any thing will help please let me know 
 
Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    I have a 1300, with a 4speed still attached, it ran well when removed 12 months ago,
    clutch was ok, i just wanted a spare engine if my 1600 had problems.
    It's living on a 4 wheel trolley, If you have wiring knowhow it should be able to
    be run on the trolley. If of interest i'm out near Ballarat, 03 5368 2801 will
    get me most times, Geoff

    Patrick, I have a pinto engine complete with accessories that was a runner when removed a few years back. Only problem is that has a Cortina sump. Let me know if you are interested.
     
    Cheers, Craig.

    Hey Craig
    What's the difference between the cortina sump and an escort one?
    I'll have a look for an escort one
    I might be interested - what sort of coin are you after? Pm me
    Thank
    Patrick

    They are slightly different but will still fit. I have pulled a few 2L from Escorts with Cortina sumps. Here's a post I found from last year.

    A Cortina pinto sump can be used in an Escort, but you have to put spacers under te engine mounts, and use a slimmer air filter.... The Cortina pinto sump is approx 10mm deeper than the Escort pinto sump, and does not have as good baffles as an Escort one... each one has their own pickup to suit. Cortina ones are a wide inverted bowl whereas the escort one is a narrower bowl shape.
