Mk1 Escort Project

Plenty of options to fit Zetec and Duratec into Escorts. Not sure of the engineering requirements in your state but theres been plenty converted and licensed before so it is possible.

These guys have a good range for example but there are lots of others doing conversion parts in the UK so shop around.

Would they ship to Australia? Probably very expensive with exchange rate

Its a small world nowadays, most people will post but thats homework you'll have to do, as with pricing.

The conversions are a viable option when you think to build a pinto with comparative power will cost upwards of 10k unless you can do alot of the work
yourself. The conversion kits may be a bit of an outlay to start with, say 7k without shopping around but the engines themselves are a cheap as chips at wreckers, say $1000 to $1500 and easy enough to replace if they do go pop.

yes Engines, seem to be a dime a dozen for the Duratec at least, gearboxes on the other hand haven't seen many. i guess its part of the process research and patience.
