glenpos Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 really like this thing, should be a little beast with that motor setup, i had bike carbs on my rt80 corona and it worked pretty good, but i didn't set it up very good and the carbs were pretty small, i'm gonna re-do my setup with some gsx 750 carbs, and they are cheaper than webers etc.... :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Thank you:-) I hope that it will be a fun ride:-) I've got some friends with very good knowledge on ford engines, one of them is the previous owner of an infamous blue wrc escort...;-) and he recon that with the setup I will run I should we 150+rwhp.... And that's before I change the cams....:-)) So hopefully it will be a sweet ride with a little umph...:-)) Again, thanks for all the kind words and interest:-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'll have too much trouble getting that power, the heads on them are pretty good from factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New bellhousing, T9 to Zetec.... T9 gearbox..... AE86 front struts.... Hopefully I will get some more things done this week..... Anyone bought windscreen seals front and rear from Ebay? Mine is so hard, that the only way I can get them out of the car I think is to cut them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
