Hello Guy's, It has been a while since I was last here and having moved, I have only just started to get back to my Project V8 efi. I have one or two jobs left to complete. But I seem to have miss placed my motor mounts. From Memory I thought they were 1977 F150 mounts. But having looked on RockAuto...

You are going to have a real nice car when complete

:D I do like the Escort Cosworth wheels, I had them on my car before I got the BBS wheels. They look great on a Merkur, but I dont like them on the Escort Cosworth and they don't fit correctly on a Sierra 4x4 due to them being a V6 they have a wider track. But with the Thunder Saloon kit it would be...

I have had to strip my V8 again due to the cam timing being out The timing gear has wrong timing marks on them MADE in CANADA and not china too That's what you get for not checking all your parts hey .

That's going to be a great car. I have seen guy's over here do the 4X4 swap using the Scorpio 4x4 kit with the 2.9 24v Cosworth motor and the trck is wider for the Thunder-saloon kit aswell. the wheels fill the arch kit with out using silly wide wheels. Great car best of luck and keep us up to date ...

We have just had the same thing with our V6 Cosworth 24v XR4i. it turns out that when we fitted the braided brake lines, the issue was the hole diameter in the brake line it's self was way smaller then the OEM rubber and the two extra Brake line's made the master cylinder to small for the job. :roll...

I have done it and it is no issue at all, just get a rotton 1985 to 1993 5.0GT and plug and play. the only issue with mine was nothing at all if you use your head :wink: You will need a pair of motor frame brackets and rubber mounts.
