right now i have used the search thingy

 

i know that if you fit a 2.0 blacktop in a escort mk6 you get running problems but this doesnt matter to me as im running carbs also i kno that there is a issue with fitting a blacktop too.

 

Can some one tell me exactly what is the issue with fitting a blacktop into a escort mk6?

 

i want to fit one and if its not much of a issue il fit one i bought off a mate

 

cheers fellas

somthing with the water pump being different and a mount of some kind... theres probably more than that tho.

that the thing it has only 70k on the clock genuine it was running perfect before he removed it and for £50 for all that it seams a shame not to use it

50 quid is a gd deal, im hoping you heard it running and took it out for a drive lol.

For him to say its 150bhp id want proof of what work has been done to achieve that as 2 ltr black tops were 136bhp standard and like said the I4 and the fiesta st engines are 150bhp.

 

The mounting points need working as it wont drop in the escort engine bay. Yes it fits but needs some fabrication work

ye i heard it running but couldn't drive it as it had a rear end smash and the rear wheels couldn't turn but i drove it before the smash all i kno is that its had a skimmed and ported polished head that's it
other than the usual 1.8 parts swapped with the 2.0 parts you have to fook about changing engine mounts etc etc
It's not 150bhp.. and swapping from a silver top to a black top is pointless, unless the silver top is fucked.

the head on the silver top is fcukd but a mate of mine wants to swap a modded 2.0 silver top for my black top he bought the wrong engine for his focus so i might just swap also i just bought throttle bodies with stand alone ecu so im fitting them too instead of carbs
