my donor was a sierra estate 1.8cvh,
not much of a power engine but it,ll get me thru IVA as engine number matches the donor vehicle docs, maybe swap to zetec in the future as exhaust
exits on the same side

Hi Andy,
I too am going the 1.8CVH / upgrade route.
What / How are you going to fuel the engine? Bike carbs or webers etc?

Diesels give you that hens teeth wanted diff which some BEC boys pay good money for
What steering rack do you need for the indy R james ?
The old indy used a sierra manual rack which MK then modify,which is an exchange item when collecting your kit.
Power steering rack is of no use.

Only the 2.3 Peugeot engined sierra has the low diff, the 1.8 TD has the usual 3.92:1
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

My donor was an 89F 2L Auto Estate.
MK took its prop OK in part-ex for the shortened one (non-standard because of the autobox being longer)
The diff is 3.38 (I think - still not done a wheel/prop rev count)
