Hay boys. I dont mean to a know it all but I have done the Advanced Diploner and am not polishing of a Mec degree at uni. so if you get stuck and need help, send me an email james.blyth@hotmail.com. will be happy to help, it makes me get off my arse and do some work.
Those mazda motors are good. got a 2.0 FE3 in the race car and its good for 250bhp on the engine dyno, N/A. If however you want to get creative, a FE3 with a 2.2 crank, 2.0 rods and toyota 2jzgte pistons gives 2.2 lt and 8.7:1 comp, just add 20psi. best bitza around.
Sorry about the lack of updates, but I haven't been anywhere near Esther until yesterday, so yesterday I decided to hook in and get some stuff done.
Starting off with getting rid of the courier.
Gettin' my minitrucker on.
Loading the courier onto the truck to be taken away.
Cya, Courier! Glad to have the space back.
I decided to get stuck into the brakes:
Caliper off.
Rotor off.
Backing plate off.
So now I'm left with the enviable task of finding suitable bearings, machining stuff and whatnot, which I couldn't get done at 6pm, so I opted for some fun motor stuff.
Radiator support's gotta go.
Tadaa!
Dummy fitted the motor and radiator.
Almost looks like it's meant to be there.
The motor's coming down and forward with a World Cup crossmember with lowered rack mounts. It's just sitting there for mockup.
Enough clearance to run the factory mechanical fan.
Threw the exhaust and intake on to see how they go.
Again, almost looks factory.
Put the stock courier air cleaner on to see how it'd go.
Again, looks factory.
But it didn't fit under the bonnet, so I'll probably just go for a foam filter.
If anyone has any constructive input, I'm more than glad to hear it.
not thats look out side the box's!! that will teach me for not reading your thread from the start i thought you where rebuilding the engine for the courier
i would love to a see a pic from underneath the car to see how the sump and gear box look
IF the part number is correct, you have order a Left Hand drive crossmember. I have just ordered a similar item from Motorsport Tools GBP 105, ex VAT plus 65 pounds for freight = GBP170 which equals $250 AUD and it will still cost more than you said. best you re check with Burton or is you car LHD Good Luck
I haven't been on here in a while as sadly there hasn't been much progress to the escort as late.
I'd like to rack your brains about something.
The little 'channel' that wraps around the inside of the trans tunnel just behind the gearbox and under the handbrake: Does it do anything and would it be ok if I cut the whole shebang out? It's kind of in the way and I've heard very mixed information about this little doodad. Some say to cut the whole thing out as it does nothing, while others say that it's basically a crossmember and is very important.
I had a look under a MK1 Twin Cam the other day and from factory that little channel has been butchered with an oxy torch to fit the gearbox in.
If I understand what bit you are talking about then what you are looking at is part of the front seat pivoting 'mechanism'. If you are changing the seats take them out.
That is a strengthening thingy. When putting in a Type9 box it gets hacked about a bit but I wouldn't take it out completely as I am totally sure Ford put it there for a reason!!!!
I've had a look underneath a couple of genuine Mk1 Twin Cams and that little channel was hacked out with an oxy from factory to fit the 'boxes in (so Errol Stratford tells me - I think he'd know).
The back end of the courier 'box is fairly wide, so the plan is to cut it in half along the length of the channel (sideways compared to the direction of the car), flatten the front half against the trans tunnel, weld a plate in the front to box it in, then do some mild cutting and shutting to move the shifter hole in the floor rearward towards the handbrake by around two inches.
Would this pass the engineering-ish mumbo jumbo when it comes time for mod plates?
