For anyone considering installing a modern Zetec E 1.8/2.0 engine in to an Escort Mk1 or Mk2, Burton now has a RWD conversion kit that is suitable for both Silver Top and Black Top engines (including the ST170).
The tailor-made engine mounts fit to the original crossmember and will line up with bolt holes on the Zetec block to correctly position the engine.
The kit includes:
• A cast alloy sump pan kit (the original sump will not clear the Escort crossmember) with baffles, pickup, dipstick, dipstick tube, sump gasket and sealer.
• A water rail to simplify the cooling system and plumbing of the engine.The rail has provision for a temperature gauge sender and electric fan switch. The kit includes suitable switches for Escorts and a fitting kit.
• A steel flywheel with ring gear- which when used with a 2.0 Pinto clutch and the clutch will be set at the correct height for the bearing.
• Flywheel to crank bolts – special flywheel bolts are required to mount the new flywheel.
A flywheel to clutch dowel and clutch to flywheel bolts are also included.
• Edge gear reduction starter motor which is correct for the RWD offset flywheel.
• Crankshaft spigot bearing for the end of the crankshaft to support the end of the gearbox input shaft.
The kit solves numerous transplant problems and replaces incompatable parts. Order as part number FZ490SK at £1,428.00 inc. VAT.
