Luke's 24v cosworth into mk1/2 thread!!!

[Luke]

same box as you mate ive a spare if that goes bang and by then i'll mabe have a few more - i'm hoping mt75 will be ok just getting a gooden

i'll get some pics promise

[custom]

might look into rebuilding mine before i change it not sure yet either that or ill stick a cosworth clutch on it and hope for the best lol..

only other problem i have with the mt75 box is the ratios u might as well not have first gear and it isnt very good for 70 plus mph as its reving quite high

A couple of the 24v boys are using Transit TD clutches. I believe that supercharged Mk2 Escort on Ford Power is using a TD clutch. Thats got slightly more power than us 'normal' 24v peeps

BTW My Sierra 24v has killed an Escort Cossie clutch, and its only got an up-rated chip in her

just looking at the amby tank - found its got a rust hole near the outlet worse tho thought i'd try to start it with the new battery ive aquired good news started bad news - i'd knocked it it in gear and its spun half a prop up and ripped the centre bearing out of the chassis batterys ok tho

Oops!

Would the Granada tank not fit at all?

Would the Granada tank not fit at all?

not really - its a bit too tall

for the prop - i'm thinking of using the lwb amby one - shorten both ends - i might even do it properly as its got the replaceable circlip joints in it
its also got some sort of rubber cusioning in it

for the tank - im thinking of making a swirl pot out of a metal fuel can fitting it under the van right next to the origanal tank

apart from that got 1 brake caliper fitted and started pipeing it up

[Luke]

Just dropped the amby prop off for shortening and balancing i'm thinking of having an ally tank made - taken a few measurments and i think its the way to go 70litre and will fit in the same position as the origanal i'm just hoping i can get it made in time

but it's all coming together

yes photos i know but ive forgot my camera again - i promise i will get some tho - but not much has visually changed only the engine - but at the moment its not the neatest conversion

just got the petrol tank off and bled the brakes

[Luke]

today ive done a drawing of the petrol tank - im gonna get a quote for having it made tomorrow

the tank will house the origanal granada sender and pump, if anyone else is putting an injection (doesnt have to be a 24v) engine into a mk1 or mk2 then email me for a copy of the drawing if you want

[madmark]

comeing on then mate!
