Derwin Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 As Title says, do you know anyone or a company who would fit an ST170 engine into my escort. The more professional the better really. Its just an idea runnign through my head should I sell one of my Nova's. I'd want somethign equally as cool to replace it. Kinda liking the idea of an ST170 engined escort at the moment.

Lee R Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 G Sport will do it for sure. what do you mean 'proffesional'? G Sport works on his driveway at the side of his house, but you wont get more 'proffesional' his results speak for themselves he has every trust in my Saph Cos thats at his house getting a FULL rebuild, for well over 300+bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derwin Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Sweet as, I'll have to get in contact to get a rough idea of whats needed and roughly what kind of price. Nothings set in concrete, but theres deffo an appeal for it. 170Bhp on a standard engine is nice Would probably leave the ST lump standard.

Colin Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Only problem i see is the wiring set-up on it, major complications, the engine is linked into everything from the ignition to the electric windows on these new Duratecs...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cossie Dave Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Does anyone have a picture of an st170 engine bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wywywywy Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Minimum 10k all in I'd say Better to just turbo-charge it and go for 200bhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossie Dave Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I know someone with an st170 in an orion, and it cost him about £700 for then engne and about £1300 for fitting. I think it cost about £3000 all in cause last time I spoke to him he was getting custom exhaust and manifold cause the manifold is in the wrong place he said And it has an induction kit Should be making about 175-180 bhp now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Minimum 10k all in I'd say Better to just turbo-charge it and go for 200bhp. eh?
