Cosworth conversion questions!
Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 12:51 pm
Hi guys,
After sitting on the fence for far too long i think i'm going to skip the 2.8 and install a cossy engine. I guess i've finally 'seen the light' like the rest of you!
I've contacted Caprisport who by all accounts are the masters of this conversion, but thought i might fire out a few more questions to the forum whilst i wait on their reply.
The later BOB engine only came with an auto box? Is the BOA MT75 a straight fit?
Is the clutch hydraulic? And if so how is this mated to the capri pedal box?
Do the BOA and BOB engines have a vacuum take off for the brake servo?
My starting point is a 2.8i Special. I gather that the engine cross-member and steering rack are maintained, but i will have to enlarge the hole in the tranmission tunnel and modify the prop length? I appreciate this is a very quick overview, but is installing the engine the 'easy' bit and then the wiring is the tricky part?
Any views/advice greatly appreciated!
