Escort MK II axle.

Gents – At last I have got hold of an axle for a decent price, the problem is that it’s off a 1.3L MK II. I will be running a 2L pinto unit with the original box. I am not too hot on gear ratios so what will be the outcome and if the diff is not suited what is my choice?????
I am building to budget so I am looking for a cheap alternative if things need to be changed!!

Take a look in the files area in the yahoo group for locosts

www.groups.yahoo.com

seach group locost


there is an excel spread sheet in there that will tell ya all your gear speeds. Look up ratios on the net for your box using google or summat

Many thanks for the info!!
I have been able to work out the difference between the original diff and the Escort axle i will be using.
