Ooooh, I'll be watching the BMW gearbox conversion intently... I love a complication 🔥

Escort is a proper asbo machine, I’d lose my license quickly in that😂

Don't know if you watch driftworks But Craig who is next door to them is doing a k20 with said zf8hp gearbox into rx8

🤦🏻‍♂️ oh dear, inside and outside is a given on all tyres a bit like when Dougal had it explained by Father Ted that these cows are near and these ones are far awaaaaay 🤣

Bro that’s the machine the way to go, ultimately devastating and smooth ride, it’s capable of doing the magic.

Quality video Mike, MK2 Escort was a beast, definitely worth getting a 7 speed dct box, this is what a few mk4 supra guys run. Got my fez mk8 1.0 stage 2 now, just need a better clutch & non leaking gearbox 😂

Loving the usual Ford creaks in the seats awesome

Awesome build 👏 and nice video

Respect pour le travail 🙌

Can’t believe I missed your upload. Another pukka video mike. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

There's a couple of options for the BMW gearbox swap - the dual clutch (DCT) 7 speed from a E90 or F80 M3, or F10 M5, then there is the ZF HP8 which is an 8 speed automatic and is used in BMW's and loads of other stuff too, and as a result can be had pretty cheaply.

Dont forget the manuals. 53dz from 120d and 57dz 330/530d. Both good for 500bhp.

What transmission & rear axle do you use with this combo ? Ever have failure issues because of the power & torque ?

Like the garage floor 👌🏻

Proper tings 🤛🏿💯

What a beast! Absolutely love the lil thing 👍🏻🖤🏴‍☠️ Hate the squeeky poly bushings though, I had them too on my old Ford and it always sounded as if the car was gonna rip itself in half! 😅

Nice mark2 to escort sounds good I like the escort so nice? To laminate that could go in a minute Emily‘s missus just had a baby and he’s done his work on his escort

So in my opinion, a Mark 2 Escort should have a good Pinto or a good Cosworth engine. Both engines can be a good comp for this vehicle. a well-made pinto 2.1 in the Esslinger style easily brings 220 hp power ... that's how I've already done it in a Mk1 Escort with a friend ... and that thing was hell .....

​@karlsanderson8127 probably because of a dry sump failure or because it was making massive power. The fact is a pinto engine needs lots of money to make a decent about of power. A k20 engine is 200hp stock.

@@mikefpe Yeah, me and Aaron built that Xflow for Dave, the engine was standard stroke and 86mm bore for 1800cc and the power was 207 flywheel bhp measured on Sanspeeds rolling road at Bexleyheath, that Xflow gave amazing torque and made max 207 hp at only 7.6K rpm which is pretty low in the range.

The car would have run in the low 12's easy if it had been rear wheel drive but it could never get any traction off the line, the car always won by top end charge which is what upset the Cossie drivers as they had the XR2 off the line by several car lengths then Dave would fly past at the top end of the strip, I think the terminals were around 111mph

The gearbox was standard which, because of the torque was no disadvantage at all.
