What cars were 1600 x-flow fitted to?
I eventually want to replace my 1100cc x-flow with a larger cc engine preferably a 1600 unit.
Does anyone know which Fords these were fitted to? I only know they were in some of the Escort 1 and 2s. Would be useful to know when I'm on
the phone to scrap yards....
Alternatively, is there anything that can be done to my 1100 to make it a larger cc? I suspect it would need lots of bits replacing...

Don't forget the escorts!!
Beware the really early xflows, mid way through the mk2 cortinas, they were 3 bearing crank - bad news!!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

1600 cross flows
M.B already mentioned the escorts, the 711 block is the one to look for . Rusty

Is it the 711 block that had 5 bearings?
Can you tell from the casting / engine number what cc the engine is?
Rusty, I've sent you a u2u about your engine that needs rebuilding. I quite often make my way over to Cottenham near Cambridge...

All X'Flow blocks from all car models had 5 bearing cranks. Some of the old pre x'flow stuff such as the Ford Classic 109E were 3
bearing.
By the way anyone got any 109E blocks for sale?
