hey guys i just recently purchased this esky its got a late model windsor 302 in it backed up by a c9 full manulised 3500 stall, the chassis has been strengthed and *** ends been mini tubbed with a 4link 9inch under it with coil overs it needs a few minor things done to it but nothing major but appart from that im wrapped with it

now im gona try my damn hardest to get it engineered dnt really want it going to waste as just as a burnout/drag car id like it to see some street! ive been driving it on the street lataly on a permit and its awesome

Awesome.

If its a late model windsor id say you may have to have the original efi and emissions on the motor to get it passed the engineers,apart from that it should be an awesome cruiser.

BLK747 · 23-08-2012, 03:46 PM

Yeah ive got the whole efi setup it came with the car its the actual el gt setup

proesc · 23-08-2012, 11:21 PM

hate to say it but i dont think a escort can be engineered anymore with the 302, hope im wrong

BLK747 · 23-08-2012, 11:24 PM

Ur not wrong but spoken to few engineers and basically if they r cool with your setup they will do it for ya

Too easy man,that will give you every chance to get it licensed then.

Wat kind of shifter is that?

Iggypoppin' · 22-09-2012, 02:29 AM

That green thing scared the pants off me on a cruise once, awesome car but damn warn people before you unload next to them! I was driving my mates car and nearly lost it trying to stay on the road!!

Starlightblue · 22-09-2012, 09:32 AM

its a b&m pro stick , works really good. for reverse pattern manualised c4
with transbrake and 4,500 stall

and sorry iggy , i just cant help myself. i guess it does make a bit of noisy when the right foot gets twitchy

BLK747 · 22-09-2012, 02:32 PM

Yeah mines got a c9 behind it but not reverse pattern im thinking about changing it to reverse pattern

Respect
might need some brake stuff and maybe more internal stuff like a mini cage state dependent
nice build though however did it
