mk1 escort help

[barty]

I'm going to have to pull the engine out of my mk1 escort estate this sat, don't really have anything to go back in there at the moment so I'm asking if anyone has an engine that will go in its place ie 1.6 crossflow or even better a 2ltr pinto.
The engine thats in there at the moment has the mains gone and i usually work weekends so thats why its getting pulled out this sat cos I'm off, it would be great if anyone local to Hastings had a engine so i can slot it straight in, i know a pinto will req a bit more work but id jump on a cheap one if its offered to me at this stage, thanks

anyone?

[dealy]

[barty]

Not near but I have a 1.6 crossflow with 4 sppeed box just put of my dutton or a 1.8 CVH and 5speed type 9 that was going in the dutton before I decided on dizzle.

[barty]

could be interested in the xflow, just noticed you are a bit too far away, thanks anyway

How about an 1800 zetec mount it to a type 9 5 speed box and you have reliability, power and RWD fun ness, win all round :-)

Cheers,

Stu.

the zetec did croos my mind but the cost involved ruled it out, perhaps in the future i will go that way but need the car on the road as soon as poss now. Going on holiday tom(sunday) so not starting till i get bach next week
