    Use the 1400 FPR with cream1800 injectors. 1400 SS plenum is fine with 1800. Had no rough/rich running probs. 1400 ECU should be fine with 1400 F/W and loom. Try resetting. Still sounds like HGF to me.

    Rob W 😬 Dave J: The cam timing is as set up by Dave Andrews. Are there better settings for the 4:2:1? I'm restricted (class 2 regs)to the standard TB as fitted to the SS aluminium plenum. Cold air is an easy mod for the forward facing TB

    Is there any significant gain in having a 4:2:1 over 4:1 long header exhaust when fitted to 1800 k with SS (correctly timed) cams, standard unported head and supersport plenum (old type)? Cost 2nd hand seem to be £300-500, and I wondered if this is cost effective. malcolm

    MSA speed licence? Any other details, date, regs etc ? Malcolm

    If you have kept the original ECU, flywheel/sensor and loom, and simply changed the injectors for a higher capacity, that should run perfectly. Sounds more like HGF to me. What do you know about the secondhand engine? Don 't be worried about the cam followers being noisy.

    Would fit you car nicely, Paul 😬

    But compared to the Twin Cam and BDA engined escorts, that Pinto engine is so unsexy....

    I agree with Neil. The ATB is a significant improvement over an open diff on track, didn't notice a difference (good or bad) on the road. But I have never driven a ZF equipped car, though. Malcolm Edited by - Englishmaninwales on 19 Dec 2006 09:05:17

    Scooter I have a brand new unused DS tank ( without fittings or tower ) for K series which I will probably be selling shortly, as hopefully I'm buying a complete secondhand DS kit. Malcolm

    Peter, I am no 'cooling expert' but: Do you know that this WILL provide adequate circulation ( with the coolant rail to old thermostat housing closed off) to prevent localised boiling in the head before the thermostat opens?

    Thanks Angus and Steve. Any photos of the current n/s engine mount (K) with the gusset?
  22. Englishmaninwales
    1.Drive shaft retaining nuts, should these be replaced or OK to reuse? If replace, are they a std Ford part? 2.N/S engine mount is cracked around 1/3 of the weld on the flange on the inner end. OK to weld this up or should replace? 3.Rear wheel bearings, what are the QH or Ford part nos? Thanks Malcolm

    Dan I think Mark is being very rude to you, as you should be allowed to do whatever you want do to your car in your tent. Would you like to buy some of my sheep ? *tongue* Malcolm
