nathanbromley Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I have a brand new escort mk6 shell that I am building up. I'm wanting to put the v6 out of an st24 mondeo but I'm unsure how doable this is. Has anyone done it before on here, if not are there any tips people can give me? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I seem to recall a cabby that had the v6 lump in it. I would imagine if would require a lot of fabrication work.....although it wld be bloody awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 There are infinite threads on this question but only a few conversions. My understanding is that it requires cutting to the slam panel and cross member. The amount of work to power ratio compared to a Zetec, RS2k or RS turbo conversion normally makes people go one of those routes instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanbromley Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Is the rs turbo a straight fit then? I like the idea of the 2.5, not liking the sound of work to be done to fit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Give the forum a search. There's so much info about engine conversions it's unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mexico Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I've always liked the idea of this conversion. would make an awesome fwd dragster with a big shot of nitrous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanbromley Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Are there any pictures of the v6 in a scrote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The v6 might sound good but power wise won't be half as much or half as cheap or easy as a good turbo engine wherever that is a 1.6 cvh or a 2.1 zetec!! What gearbox and mounting are you gonna fab for this v6? Then you've got your drive shafts etc to think about. With the cvh or zetec which in NA format were standard in mk5/6 escorts you've only got the ECU to really worry about when going with booooooooost disclaimer- I'm probably talking pish!! I fancy a mk1 FRS engine being slotted into my gti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
