Default Re: Ford Escort MK1 1974

As said 1600 is the way to go better all round than 2 litre pinto , combustion chamber in piston with flat heads plenty of room to carve the ports out with a decent cam they have nothing down low but amazing acceleration when the cam starts working with a low ratio diff (van) use to love upsetting the 2l powered ones by whacking it from 4th to 2nd and leaving them for dead it was the best vehicle for leaving your guts behind

one day at the beach this guy pulls up in a 2l demanding to know what it had in it after i had thrashed him a couple of times in town ....had to lift the bonnet and show him because he didnt believe me ....never said a word got in his van and drove off
