RS2000 to Cosworth

RS2000---->RS Cosworth

 

Hi, I'm new here, and this is my first post,

and mainly it is the most important.

so, I have a Ford Escort RS2000 model 94, and I want to change the car in almost everything, I want to build an Cossie on the RS2000 Shell

so my qeustions are:

1) Is it possible?

2) If it is, what the changes need to be?

3) I'm more intrested in the YBT engine, with the bigger turbo, is it possible to fit this engine in the MKV/IV shell? again, what are the changes needed to be done?

4)a. Is it possible build an 4WD with the 3 diffrencialses on the FWD shell? the front diffrencial need to be changed?

4)b. Can I build the Cosworth with only Front Wheel Drive System, I mean the original system is need to be chaneged because of the engine position?

5) The MT75 gearbox need to be fitted here?

6)In generally, what are the parts, I need to o buy for this project? If it is possible, please, write E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G-!!!?

7)IF SOMEONE HAVE AN ICQ PLEASE add me to his contact list with the number 234893758

Thank U everyone for the help!

 

BTW, if someone mean to ask why Im not preafer to buy an original Cosworth , the reason is that in my country (Israel) the is not an original ESCORT COSWORTH.

again, thank you everyone!

Mate hate to say it but it would proberly be far cheaper to import an escort cosworth. this sort of job would cost well over £15,000 the price of a good escort cosworth

as dunk days it would be far more cost effective to import one, or import a origional shell.

I have seen one escort a few years ago with the cosworth engine in and still being fwd, i think they had to have the enine subframe made up, but i cant really remember much more than that

so companies here will convert your shell for around £3500 pounds, but you can buy a cosworth shell for that allready.

the only other way is to buy a ford sierra and put the escort body onto the floorpan of the sierra, which a fair few people have done with mk4 escorts

sounds like a great excuse to buy a motorsport shell and go full on WRC with Cossie power, would be far more original and make it worth the money

Thank you, everyone! if you have something to add, I'll be very glad.

Someone told me that someone (else...) did it on the escort pick-up, so

if you have any links, just add them here, again, THANK YOU!
