Cossie transplant?

is it hard to do this, and what power does normally gives you?

what other things needed to change?

[Excursion]

i got a red top 2wd engine lastyear for mine with the intention of going fwd.

my car was gonna be off the road for too long and too much dollar!

I was going for a trasnveres installation but rwd is just as hard. you need to build up a front chassis subframe and the change the auxillary belt system to the serpentine type

Take a look in this months fast ford, theres one in there.

But just look @ the 1 in FF, its a mess with its battered & bruised wings. Just go Zetec turbo, @least it looks & fits properly

[chumkila]

too much hassle in my opinion.

Don't bother - go Zetec turbo and tune that instead if you must. Even a standard FRST engine, well tuned, will give you the same power and much better reliability for the same money.

That FWD Cossie conversion in Fast Ford required a T28 turbo (i.e. definitley no bigger than T28 ) and it was mounted between the block and bulkhead, making it very likely to overheat or even catch fire.

Have a look at the vacuum servo on that car too - there's a bloody big dent been hammered into it to fit the cam cover.

Not to mention the standard-size rad and intercooler being used.

Imho? Nahhhh
