That's the one thanks Gas

It looks like he has taken a section of the front engine bay/ chassis legs/ suspension towers/inner wings and grafted them into the minor

Here's a photo from a slightly different angle, the guy is local to me and at most of the car shows in the South Wales area:

The number on the side of the car implies that the owner is from the Pontypridd area

hi rob
Ive put the cosworth 2rwd in my moggie as well but didn't want to run turbo like yours
it goes very well and stops as well
its escort and sierra based
escort rear axle with a atb diff and disk conversion
gaz front coil overs and cossie four pots and disks (285mm)
its been on the road now for around 6 years with out any problems
im in the middle of fitting throttle bodies to it and an emerald ECU to run the car
hope to have it going in the next few months

is it possible??? well stupid question because any engine is possible, but what would need doing to fit it??? my friend has one for sale and id love it but not sure how it would slam in to pedros bay... and im talking 2wd instead of 4 as i dont think id manage to make a 4x4 minor...

Why not just have a Ford Sierra Cosworth engine in the car it was designed to go in?? A Sierra Cosworth.

You know the engine would fit and there would be no "issues".

[chickenjohn]

You could just buy a Sierra? the engine will fall into place, less agro, less stress and much more fun to drive as lets face it, you will have to do SO MUCH work to a morris to get this to fit and drive any sence (rear axle and suspension upgrade, propshaft made, gearbox mounts, engine mounts, the steering rack is bound to cause problems, front suspension upgrade, cooling, serious brake upgrade, the list goes on, not to mention cost), and all you end up with, is a morris with to much power for the type of car. Sorry to put a downer on things. A ford sierra would be my choice to use the engine in, but if you can get this to work, then i wish you the best of luck

exactly!

Think you're missing the point "custom and modified"!!!!!

Think you're missing the point "custom and modified"!!!!!

I also wonder why folk who are obviously anti custom vehicles waste their time with inane comments on what is after all the Custom and Modified section.
Same culprits though
Obviously too much time on their hands when they should be searching for that original 1960 air for their tyres

True.
