Anyone got or know sumone who has got a 1.1 or 1.3 HCS engine? preferibly carb and low mileage, mines pretty fcuked, theres tons of piston wear and its pissing out oil over the rocker box and engine.
im from the south, dont wanna travel too far if it what i want.

[The Bruster]

I got a 2i and a 1.8 D for sale 1.8D is equivelant to 1.1 petrol but does about 55mpg

[Silver2iReplica]

its gotta be the same for insurance im only 17 if i stick a 2i engine in it the insurance company will tell me to bugga off due to it being a modified car

Have A 1.1 for sale. Bought in June 2000 as either fully recon unit, or low mileage one. (my guess is recon...)
Got the reciept for it and everything.

[fiestakingfisher]

i too have a complete 1.1 engine !still assembled it had done 65k genuine miles old granny before me well looked after ! its all still whole with gearbox the lot all on my garage floor ! give me a bell if u want it

[Silver2iReplica]

cheers but i found out that 1.1 and 1.3s look exactly the same, unless you take off the head!!! i just found a local breakers firm selling a 1.3 with 55k on the clock they want £215 inc VAT and delivery so im gonna go for it. then with a K&N and a Peco BB4 which i recently bought it should go like stink !

[MadcatCraig]

mate ure gonna pay £200 for a 1.3 HCS lol are you mad ! i was gonna say you could have mine for £60 !!!! i have a K&N for a HCS if u want it too !

[Silver2iReplica]

yeah but ur in bristol u cant exactly send it to me in a letter !!!

but i get a years warranty with this one anyway, and i get it delivered to my door!
plus i can see what car it came out of, and see if its a wreck or not.
thanx for the offer anyways

[MadcatCraig]

mate its a HCS ! £200 u may as well line the blokes jeacket with cash as well as his pockets !!!you seriously spend £200 on a HCS i would go mental ! you can pick a XR2i lump up for that easy!!!!!

Charlie bruster has agood condition XR2i lump ! all you need to do a XR2i conversion he will sell it all to you for just a bit more than that!

think HCS - Efi CVH hmmmmmmm i have just conveted my 1.1 HCS to a EFI turbo its got problems but i know what id rather have

[xrsi]

i wouldnt pay £200 for a hsc mate!! - got a 1.6 cvh engine for just over a ton!!

I can truthfully say that lou's engine is in good nick, just like th rest of her car!! - as for craig's, i dont know but for £60 you cant go wrong!!

Seriously - DONT PAY £200!!!!

[fiestakingfisher]

Ta James.
Looks like my engine is sold now, soz.

Louise.

Ta hun!!

So when do we all get to see the 2.0 kingfisher!?!?!

+ i want a ride in it to see what it goes like

[fiestakingfisher]

Soon hopefully lol.
Not running 100% yet though..

[Silver2iReplica]

u can take the piss if u want but i just bought myself a 1.3, 28000 miles, yes twentyeight!, recon engine for £200, can beat a pug 205 1.4XS off the lights! hahaha

and im only 17! wait til i tell the insurance company wot i just bought

[Tom SX]

tunning one of these is pointless no?

my 1.3 is rubbish i wouldn't buy ANOTHER ONE!

plus the filters and backbox will do sod all for power really.

y not get a 1.6s engine in there? don't say insurance reasons as you are modding it and putting a diff engine in there ANYWAY!

[Silver2iReplica]

with a 1.6s lump in there i would kill myself! the insurance company dont give a toss, cus i said it was a 1.1. cus 1.1s and 1.3s look identical, unless u take off the head. changed engine number in log book, so its all legal (kinda), plus they just wouldnt let me insure a car with a 1.6 lump in it. i would have to go 4 a different company that would charge me sh:t loads, and its money i dont have. plus i cant be arsed to find a 1.6s lump, it has to be 1.6s not XR2i cus i will never get insurance on it, there aint that many 1.6s festers around, so chances of findin an engine off one is even slimmer.

anyways i aint 2 bothered bout performance, more concerned bout the looks and the ICE, which is wot me moneys is going on at the moment.

[xrsi]

Right first - YOUR INSURANCE IS NULL AND VOID!! - If i can remember the capacity of the head is on the block!!

Secondly - if you think you would kill yourself then really you shouldnt be driving if you can control the urge to lead foot then you could just as easily kill yourself in a 1.1 or 1.3!! (possably more chance in a smaller engined car - due to the fact you havent got power to compleate a crazy overtake that you may have tried!!!)

As for 1.6s fiesta's being rare - lets just say that the majority of Mk3's in my local scrap yard are infact 1.6s models + all 1.6 ford petrol CVH engines on carb are the same, hence i have an escort engine (the only diff being the ignition module!)

And as for insurance - i am 20 with 1 yrs NCB and a 50% fault crash and my insurance with all of the mods declaired is only £1000 (just under) TPFT in my name, which is only £200 od more than a standard 1.1 would have been!!

Dont wish to sound like im having a go mate but look at both side of the argument - the CVH is a much better engine than a HSC, trust me - i wouldnt have another one!!
