Any one got an efi cvh bottom end xr2i ect decided the wifes 1.4 is too slow but its on dis ignition so I am after a 2i bottom end to make the job easier. going to use a mk2 xr carb ect so it looks std.

you back now???

[crazy dave]

yeh been away for a short stretch, Lisa's 1.4 seems well slow so I need a efi cvh n/a bottomend its got to be modded its a ford. just taken my chargecooler to be welded hoping to be on the road for sept but not doing the bodywork untill I know its going to be worth keeping hoping for about 100bhp@ 60psi on a T96 bolted to the tailpipe!!!!!!!

Dave,

I think you'll need the XR2 / 1.6S leanburn bottom end as the pistons will take the 1.4 head off the block - leanburn engines have the combustion chamber in the piston crown, whereas 2i and pre-85 XR2 engines have them in the head.

I may have a 1600 bottom end going for sale soon but it needs new rings and possibly a rebore. Won't be expensive and I'll throw in the head, too, which converts easily enough to DIS... d'oh! No CPS hole, so you'll need to drill your own.

i already have 2 89 xr2 engines but i can't be RSed to drill the hole i am going to use one of these heads and the carb ect so all i need is a 2i bottomend. I have just chucked a frst short mota because it needed an overbore and new pistons its not cost effective to do with the amount of 2nd hand units around.

I've got a turbo bottom end if thats any good to ya !!!

[muffking]

is moles lightly to give a good price???

p.s did you strip your other fiesta 'cos i'm missing some bolts & stuff for my escort & it'll save me going to ford

Dave,

I don't think the EFi bottom end will work with the head - pistons will strike the valves and possibly the head itself.

[muffking]

If this is the case dave, i've got a 1600 head with XR2 carb+manifold complete stuck in the shed

Dave - I bought a complete 1600 cvh efi out of either a 2i or late 3i last week so that I could have the head. I have the bottom end complete for sale - say £70 and I may be able to meet you half way for pickup. let me know what you think. Cheers. Brad

[crazy dave]

Brad I am hopefully about to sell some 4x4 cossie calipers if I do then I will have it, other wise the other half moans (even though its her car) she reckons there is nothing wrong with the 1.4 but its just toooo slow.

[zetec69]

Dave - that's cool. Let me know if want it
