Anyone one know were to get cheap reco heads for escorts in melbourne like under 400 bucks ?

no compression in 2 cylinders. Machanic thinks it could be the head as it doesnt blow smoke. still runs but max speed is around 90.

Try FjORDFOUR at 23 Spray Ave. Mordialloc, Vic. 95871588. If not I've got a 1.6 with factory fitted Webber and manifold and a auto box as well, good cond (cheap). No use to me anymore as I'm transplanting a Mazda motor in to it. Email me if interested.

cosworth head

You can ,its the same (design)block,but dont go turboing it as you would use a 205/200 block which has better cast qualities.

Cosworth heads are very pricey if you havent already got one ,

Especially to rebuild, if you buy one buy it complete /belt/timming pullies the lot. Hard to track down otherwise

yeh you bolt on a cosworth head to an old 2L pinto. 205 piston rods also have thicker webs so you rev it to 7500rpm all day long.

you could also drop in the 2.0i sierra engine - there are only 4 wires to connect the ecu up to the original loon (in a cortina so should be the same

another way to go could be 2.0 DOHC -comes from a serria aswell

Carefull that you don't confuse engine / heads with the BDA Kent engine..
