Sounds about right! Perhaps; Defening Carbs On Escorts? Not sure really, double choke something or other...

I have looked out some text as to exactly what all the numbers mean. "All Weber carburetors carry a basic model number which is stamped at the base of the carburetor on its mounting flange. The most well-known is the good-old "48 IDA", a masterpiece of design and a marvel of precision...

BTW, i have heard that a 5 speed gbox is a nightmare to fit. Possibly re-positioned/modified x-member? Although that would be nice once done. Also not sure what revs your engine will sensibly do. But i wouldnt reccomend too much more than 6500rpm. Remeber how old it is!!!

Best thing to do is give one of the companies out the back of classic ford (one of my bibles!) a ring to see what they reckon about the transplant. Ill have a dig see and and if i can uncover any info about the job in hand. As you say, underneath all the acnilleries is the same engine...

I will have a little look at your car no worries! But be warned, i am new to fiestas also, its Mk1 and 2 escorts i know better than the back of my hand. Is it the supersport model you have got? I hear these are pretty rare and very nice. What does it need to get the RWD engine into the...

After all that, it isnt the roller throttles that are fitted, its just the normal Lumenition throttles with MBE management. They seem to run spot on, very smooth and the ECU sorts out any drop in revs or fluctuation of fuel pressure/air temp really well. Although at the moment, we are at...

Read S.B.D above (without the full stops!)

Alright Ben, Blimey, we should start a x-flow forum!! Didnt realise you lot were still interested in one of fords best designs! This engine of mine. I was told by a friend of a kfriend (you now how it is) that there was a mk1 escort for sale near where i live going very cheaply and that...

Hi Ben, Crossflows eh? Where do i start???!!! I have run many a mk2 escort with 1100,1300 and 1600 crossflows, great little engines that rev freely but big power isnt all that easy. Obviously they are in slightly differrnt form as you know but i think the principles are very similar...

Why cant i write s without the daft face?????

Am building a MK2 escort with a full S 2.0 XE complete with the lumenition and MBE treatment. Will the XE go in a Clio? Im not sure that they will, im gonna need some convincing. They can push 170bhp with only fairly minor mods. To keep it reliable you dont want to go mad on power. Not...

If you have to ask how much for the car, you probably cant afford it! Try speedline for the wheels (not saying they are), they might be in demon tweeks? But most likely magnesium sloit rims, not cheap at over £350 each... hopefully renault can produce a nice little package for the...

Let us all know when you get a reply about the weber alpha kit. Does it come with all the bits you need or do you have to get manifolds and other bits and pieces separately? Is there clearance in front of the rad to get it all in. Not a lot of space in an F7-p
