sounds like you gave it bit more castor! did you use the silent bloc top mounts from a late mk2 or the bearing type? i dont have my mk1 any more but im sure ill get another one. i found using early-mid 80's volvo strut inserts and mounts to be simple enough. parts are better than the old ford stuff ...

hey harrie, yes you are correct those sierra boxes will fit straight up, however this being a north american enfo site it is important to note that we never got those guys over here. we only had a version of your xr4 variant called the Merkur Xr4ti. literally the only car imported into the united ...

All the parts are readily available in the uk for cheap. Its strange to me that they adopted the pinto name when the engines were more of a euro ford engine than a pinto engine. I mean we only had it for 3 years they had it for like 20. And yes it is a bummer that the cam comes out that way.at least ...

while i actually like the crossflows i have built better than this 2.0. i must say they are incredibly easy to build. i especially like the price of pistons for them! also having the cam all the way up there is nice. if it starts to wear out ill just change it! cant do that in a crossflow.

it has a 2.0 ohc pinto engine and a t9 trans with a 3.9 rear end.
the engine was rebuilt using nos mahle pistons with 9.5:1 compression.i used a burton fast road cam. i was lucky ...

welcome! love that car. oddly enough i got my first 100e in detroit. sadly i never did finish that car.

wait brent, i think i sold you one of my transmissions? small world here in enfo land! since you are putting that into a mk2 i should also let you know that i did have issues with starter to steering linkeage clearance. i remedied it by getting this http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Lightweight-Mini ...

it is actually very easy to mate merkur gearbox to both a kent and 2.0ohc pinto engine. i have done it this way successfully twice. i mean successfully as in i drove my car across the country from az to nc twice with no issues.

as previously mentioned the top two bolts dont line up. doesnt matter ...
