Collected my new engine on friday, finally had chance to get in the garage and have a mess about today

Pic of how I collected it


engine as bought 2

Cleaned up and stripped of its unneccessary bits!




Inside cam cover, nice and clean. As I took it off, I havent cleaned it, honest!

cam sprockets

Got a few other bits which need fitting, and a rear wheel drive 2.3 sump on the way which should be able to be shortened to give ground clearance similar to the pinto.

I just need to find out about the clutches (see other thread). I think I can fit a pinto clutch to the standard 1.8 flywheel whith I have with just re-drilling the dowels.

Jobs for this week and next weekend are blank of EGR ports and find some parts to make a water rail

I'm all excited now too, going to pick up my 5cyl Volvo whiteblock on Tuesday


Edit

Very nice

I thpught it was a flat 4 duratec from the first piccie!!!!!

Looks good mate. Nice and clean. Must be a low miler?

That looks excellent!

What sort of money are Duratec's now?

Zero miler essentially. Just done some dyno work/testing and thats all

Its almost like new inside which is good news for me!

Got lots of work to do on it to get it fitted later in the year though!
