Ivan5757 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 What's wrong with this 1981 Escort Engine? It just doesn't look like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What engine is it claimed to be? 35 years since I had one, but from the photo it doesn't look like a CVH (1.3 or 1.6), looks more like a pushrod engine - the 1.1 Valencia was fitted in some versions of the Mk 3.

The guy couldn't tell me. But this is in Spain, maybe that says something. It's definitely a ford and it's fitted on the GL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 As I say, looks like the pushrod Valencia engine to me (appropriate if it's in Spain!😀). I don't recall that engine being fitted in the UK GL, but we're not talking about a UK spec car it seems. There must be some indication of the engine capacity in the cars paperwork, surely? The Valencia is 1.1 litre, or 1117cc to be precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frembrit Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 My mate had a 1.1 and I had a 1.3 CVH. That looks like the 1.1 from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Tiny engines in huge engine bays is always a giggle at the retro shows! No wonder they cover everything in plastic nowadays... Interesting swastika practice on the walls too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I had a mk3 1.1 with that engine. It wasn’t exactly fast. I also had a 1.3cvh and 1.6cvh, much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadie Rogers Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Hi, I'm a producer on a documentary series looking to film a blue Escort Mark 3 (around a H reg), would anyone be interested. Please drop me an email srogers@truenorth.tv Thanks, Sadie Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
