PROPSHAFT length
hi can anyone tell me the length that my propshaft (thanks Chris) has to be from a 1300 escort engine with type 9 5speed and a book chassis with a
1300 escort axle i need to order one before i can mount the engine and it would be useful to know and save time having to fit eveything just for the
measurement. thanks
ps has any one got one for sale ?

Hi Barrie,
I don't quite follow this - are you perhaps talking about the propshaft?
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Barrie, the limiting factor for me was not the engine but the bell housing. I have positioned it as far back as possible without the starter or clutch
leaver fouling the bulkhead.
From this fixed, central point I can position the engine mounts or the rear axle (and hence prop), without having to assemble the entire engine
through to wheels transmission.
