Darren was building a 4x4 2+2 using Sierra parts. I'd rather shorten driveshafts rather than do bodywork so i'm going that route on the H4 The front is going to use Fiesta suspension just with custom driveshaft's to match the MTX75 gearbox. The rear is going to use narrowed Mondeo rear suspension.

It would have been a major job to rebuild the frame to carry the motor an associated bits. The arches would have to flared in order to fit the drivetrain in without major mods. Would prefer to rework glassfibre than driveshafts! Something to think about for the future, or if I can find a cheap or unfinished 2+2 to play with once mine is back.

The rest has been somewhat delayed due to a house purchase but should be on it soon. Have you got the injectors from the plastic manifold ?, those are the ones for the 115ps engine. The mondeo 115ps ecu will work with those. Jim On 24/05/2011 19:38, Mark Miles wrote: All joking aside I was seriously considering getting hold of a four wheel drive motor and drivetrain. I thought it would be fun but funds won't stretch to all the extra bodywork and engineering that would be involved. (at the moment!). I could see flared arches just to fit the wider track for the drivetrain. Watching a couple of cars on ebay this morning I noticed that the ST24 Mondeos are going for peanuts...V6 Q anyone? I am just waiting on the information that Jim asked me for and some photos. The engine is definitely a 1.8 phase 2 from an Escort, Peter thinks this is the 115ps lump. I just need to check that the manifolds, injectors, maf et al are suitable. That being the case all I need is exhaust and ECU and I am going to be running again. The engine and running gear is all installed, The upgraded brakes are going on tonight/tomorrow. It is now just a case of getting the engine to make vroom vroom noises and I will be back on the road. Can anyone recommend a cheap (<== Really important) downpipe or system, preferably non cat.
