Well I bought both plus the escort ECU, Escort clocks and part steering column from the escort for the joint. Both engines came with all ancilaries so I'm going to try to flog some of it to recoup some costs. Cost me £220.

I had to know what condition it was in so I've just whipped the head off and it's in perfect condition. Still got the hone marks on the bores with not a hint of wear. Oil is clean as owt and looks to have just had new cambelt so been looked after. Block just needs the old paint cleaning and a quick touch up.

Going to pull the head off the 1.8 so I can assess it's condition before putting it on Ebay. What's it worth with the Ecu and 2L cams?

Result. Straight swap for a 5 speed type 9. Delivered to the door when he picked up the engine.

I've kept the sensor and adapter from the 1.8. Been doing a bit now and again.



Been trial fitting the engine and not happy with the gap between stat housing and chassis so....



I'll plate the open ends eventually.
