engine swaps

[Daz...]

I have seen a rover v8 in a mark 1 escort before, was probable a pig of a job but it can be done.

My uncle built 2 of them...awesome motors...


As for the rs4 into a rallye...that sounds like a completely different story...would def be a big achievement to do it and stop the 4-wheel drive from tearing itself apart

Do it to a mk2 kitted as a rallye then, just shouldnt f**k around with them too much i feel

^^^ yea i am with you on that, things like Rallye's they are great to put highly fettled 20vt in but too many people are doing it, it would be nice to see some original rallye's in mint condition imo 

[vee_arr_sicks]

maybe off the subject slightly but did all rallyes come with the G60 engine?
or were there only a select few rallyes with G60's?
I know that there was a fwd golf with a G60- was it a GTi? or called something else?
TY

Yea thats right they have the 1.8 8valve Gti G60 engine (160bhp) and i think that goes for all of them.

They used to make just the G60 which was front wheel drive but that was with out the wide wings etc.

.......and even a 4wd mk2 G60 synchro, if you can find one !

I'm guessing you'd have to mount the engine front to back instead of left to right. that means making way for the gearbox under the car aswell as fabricating mounts and likely modification to the susspension setup, etc.

massive job to do.
