Re: Escort motor into mk1

I am not an Escort Mk1 / 2 expert, but have seen modification of MK2 being approved from 1.3 to full RS2000 spec, which required welding in extra brackets for the arms holding the diff in place.
First of all you need to ensure your shell has no rust. If the floor pan, inner sills, and outer sills are not in 'new' condition, then you will not get approval for increased power.
The engineer may require that you perform stiffness testing of the shell. It's where a moment arm is attached in the front, and the torsion of the shell is measured.
