Happy days! I remember dropping a stock 2ltr in my MK2 about 15 year ago after pulling out the 1.3ltr. I was stoked! I would have done a couple a hundred kays around my oldies paddock before i got my learners permit..

will do, i got most of my parts from ebay and asking escort enthusiasts.
the car still needs the clutch adjusted, gearbox filled with fluid, 2 litre throttle cable connected, and an electric fan. |
