2.9 Cossy in to a 1.6 mk2 Capri
Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2009 12:37 pm
Hi Guys
I've got a Mk2 capri 1.6 which and I want to fit a 2.9 cosworth BOA engine into, I got the engine along with the loom ecu ect and also a 2.8 capri tank with fuel pump. I've picked up a type 9 gearbox out of a 2.8 sierra Xr4i along with its flywheel (on a bit of a budget as have several other projects on the go ) Is there any reason why I can't fit this engine on to my 1.6 crossmember without the power steering to get me going? (would prob change to 2.8 xmember and power steering at a later date) Can fabricate custom engine mounts if required. Also what clutch would be best used with the type 9 box and 2.8 flywheel, does using a cosworth clutch avoid having to alter the release arm?
Any tips much appreciated
Cheers
