    Just goes to show how crap ford engines are if they have to raise the bonnet to keep them cool

    They look a lot like 2dr saloons, although as much as I love the nova coup?s, I hate the look of the escorts.

    id recomend the 2 litre zetec bottom end on a 1.6cvh head id i were you,ZVH conversion, i wouldnt run a 2litre zetec if your thinking of tuning it as the valves are quite restrictive, at 136bhp standard you wont get much past 200 with a lot of mods, well done for joining the ford family, really decent cars if you know what your doing and you like welding good luck with your project and i look forward to seeing your progress

    cheers "london_chris"

    well i dont fancy chucking all my money at a zvh...not on this car...
    just going for a quick zetec tbh....and when i want somthing quicker il buy somthing quicker :D

    me mates building a 2.1 zvh turbo to go into his rs turbo at the moment...should be around 320bhp+ when its all done.....but its costing him a fortune to do the zvh route cant wait the see the final product though

    I like it, old Fords make as much sense as old Vauxhalls in terms of cheapness to get bits for, I was looking at a Burton power catalogue and the availablitily of parts is astounding! Your Escy looks tidy, I have friends who've had these and the only problems they've had are the same as Nova ownership issues - the tin worm! Is there a Burton catalogue type thing for Vauxhalls BTW??
