there was a BDA escort for sale a couple of years ago i think
it was ex Colin Bond's
the whole car was $35 000, and it was a runner. bloody quick
too for a na motor.
i like the heads mark ashford used on his drag 1600 completely
re-modified.
very raised ports even had FIA style round ex ports. a guy in
Rocky i think was doing them.

I consider an FIA to be money
well spent, just ask Errol if you don't believe me.
You will not get another L
series head to perform like an FIA, and they constantly increase in
value.
I sopose it depends on how much spare cash?
One guy I know has to many cars to list and all his
cortinas have lotus engines,all his minis are "coopers"
All his Jags have roll cages,well most of his cars
do

one thing i cant understand, is who would spend
$35k on a engine, if you ask me its just very poor
design.......
i`ve seen guys who spent about 8 to 10 k on a
engine with the same or less power as my old l/z
hybrid which cost about half that...
just because its genuine nissan etc.......
doesnt always mean that its the best.....like spending a
few thousand on a head, .( fia or what ever they
are..) for a few thousand i would want 40- 50 kw
increase.....

Nissan water front race here in wellington a few years
back a guy was racing a escort ex rally/steet car ,He won?,but he was
hanging it out big time around every corner.
The real cosworth 2.0L twin cam(ford) engine is very
very nice full alloy block and all,,very light.
I belive around $35,000 for a whole
engine.
1964 Mk1 Lotus twin cam cortina head is
$10K
i sold a 63 lotus cortina diff heada few years ago
that pice of alloy only went for 1500.(No gears just the
housing)

British RS2000 with
the Cosworth BDA engines are tres quick for NA engines. There are a
few of them here in the Canberra Scorts club and I can tell you they
are a match for a FJ20 turbo if only in a straight line - there aren't
too many 80's production 4 cylinders that pull 140 mph. One of the
Canberra cars has a $40K driveline in it - big dollars, he told me the
spare head was $15K alone which is in FIA Datto league if you could
still buy one, you can buy 3 FJ's for that and have the same amount of
fun. The thing is with Scorts is you just still buy the good bits off
the shelf, last trip to Sydney I did, I picked up some you bute
steering rack for a RS 2000 still in a box from England with the
customs stamps on it - they're way ahead of us in that
area.

Terry
Brad are you talking Uk or aussie
RS..??
Reason I ask is they are totally different cars
the ozzie made one is just a escort sport with a cortina engine and
a Masport gear box(Masport box's were made in NZ)
The real RS has alloy sump, etc, etc plus are
worth a shit load.
Plus only ever came in 2 door were in ozzie you
got 4 door ones as well.
Just like your escort van 2.0L only
place they made them was ozzie,,,in fact they even made a ????shit
carnt think of the name off hand same as the holden sandman but a
ford,,was it sunrunner?ford did it in escort and
tranist
