Cheers, not even fully rebuilt as milage so low but will probably blow up soon,I have to compromise with her if I ever want to take her back to sunny portugal they apparently do not understand engine swaps at the mot station,they want engineers reports on the chassis to see if it can handle more power
and brake reports which is sort of understandable but I thought that is what the brake test is for in the mot station.but they just don't get it
.which all in all means it has to look the same on the outside of the engine as made by ford.I am sure there is someway round it, but I hardly understand a word, which doesn't help.
So she has to keep the essex in otherwise a cossie was getting stuffed in, as that was the dream van I had been thinking about for years .Shame really. but not as it does keep an original the way mr ford intended.Slow thirsty and unreliable
