Hi, wondered if anyone could answer a question.
Can a 1.6CVH from a fwd escort be mated to a mk2 escort 4 speed box?
I have a Jago Geep & am fed up with the xflow - too unreliable.
A 1.6 CVH has become available and I wondered whether anyone had mated one to a rwd box?
I can see the sump being a problem on the engine also as the deep section is at the front - needs to be the other way around with my mk2 escort crossmember being in the way.

Anyone any ideas before someone else snaps up the engine???

Swizz...

Yeah the bolt pattern will allow you to mate it up to a type 9 etc. They fitted 1.8 cvh's in sierra's so that is a good reference point for bits (sump/clutch parts etc)

remember you'll have to use the alternator mount to bolt on an engine mount though.

HTH

Some of the info you need is here, it should be possible to use a CVH 1300 or 1400 flywheel to take the existing 7.5" clutch otherwise you might end up having to change the gearbox and propshaft.

BT, re: all info you can find is here - is there a link?
