miniman1969 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Best start collecting parts then! Do I just need the engine loom?Guess i need the fuel tank from an EFI escort too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 If urs is on carb then yes u will need a fuel tank. The loom from any zetec engined escort will be fine. So u needComplete engineloomecufuel tank gearbox n shafts n the like could be reused. An 1800 zetec will only set u back a hundred quid. Complete with manifolds n everything. Then its just time and effort easiest way to double ur horsepower......for no extra fuel consumption. For what they are, those little hcs engines are pretty thirsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersport Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 i'll write a list for you when i get a minute. easiest thing would be to get a scrap MK6, then you will have all the bit's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
