Default Sierra 2.0 DOHC inj with 5 speed box

Having read Chris' tome is it worth me buying the above model vehicle.
It appears that this engine may hit the bonnet and the 5 speed box is bigger, meaning modifying the transmission tunnel.
Does anybody have any experience of using this engine with carbs and the mods required on the tunnel?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
John

The modifications are listed here, complete with details and drawings. The engine isn't the greatest in its power delivery and its fat. Its not that its a bad idea, its just that there are more suitable engines to use.

I'm using the escort version of the engine (16v, 150bhp) in my kit car. and its not been a problem yet.

Many thanks for the quick reply.
Seems like a lot of work so I think I'll hold fire for something else.
Cheers
John

Unhappy Missing link

Hi Amadeu

Welcome to the forum

A short while ago the forum was subjected to a malicious attack, many posts were deleted & are now lost.

It is most likely that the link you are trying to follow relates to one of the missing topics

Let us know if there is anything in particular you need to know, I am sure someone will come up with an answer for you

Hi,

thank you for welcoming me.

what I need to know was the modifications to make on the tunnel for the use of a 2.0L Ford Sierra engine with a MT75 gearbox.

many thanks
Amadeu

Hi,

I'm a new member. Have been unable to open the link in the above message from DEEZEE on 22 June 2009.

I am looking for data on the transmisson tunnel changes to accommodate an MT75 gearbox. The link would seem to hold the answer. Is it accessed by another route? Your advise would be welcomed.

Regards
John Williams
