stevo turbo Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hi, im new to this site and in the newbie section I have put that im newly back to fords and im looking for some advise and ideas on a possible new project. So my grandad passed away in December gone and I have been left with his 1995 Escort Estate, with the huge power hose in the form of the 1.8 d :s I had just decided to let it sell on but was only going to look at around £300 for it with tax and test still on it. I had a bit of a clean up of it today and I have realised that its really worth more than £300 in sentimental value. So after giving it a bit of a clean out and wash I have found that its a reasonably clean Shell and with only 71k on the clock! So with this in mind and with my love of Vauxhall I was possibly thinking of going for a Vaux power plant? possibly a c20let or even V6? has anyone ever done a ford Vaux combination on here with on of these? I could be very willing to stick with a ford power plant in the equivilant yb or cossie v6. I know to do this its going to be a case of changing the fuel tand and a few other bits and pieces along the way. I would just like peoples thought and ideas on the idea. cheers stevo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGersFord Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yes it was :) i can already imagine some wee idiot in a corsa trying to overtake and you leave him eating dust xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevo turbo Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 I already own a corsa as well! I am that wee idot lol how much power could be possible from them? I know the Vaux ones you don't get much with out spending a fortune. what power standard? 220bph ish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 A Ford with a Vaux#### engine? Sacrilege indeed. As a wise man once said- I'd rather push a Ford than drive a Vaux####.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevo turbo Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ha ha @ stoney. At least I can appreciate both sides :) just not keen on new stuff. Also the thought of a Saab motor crossed my mind last night? Anyone know or seen one done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
