FORD ESCORT 1.4 CVH
i have just bought a 1.4 CVH escort mk5 facelift its a 1995 and i have read that being one of the last escorts to use a CVH engine its a redesigned engine with a stronger crankcase and a balanced crank to battle the harsh vibrations at high revs. im posting this to ask if any one knows of ways to tune this engine, and was wondering how hard it is to put a later 2.0 16v engine in it, like from a later mondeo or a later escort. any ideas will be much appreciated :)


thanks

Hi ant and welcome to TorqueCars. It sounds like you are pretty keen to get going.

The 1.4 will not give much more power no matter how much you spend on it. Most of the 2.0 engines will fit the bay but you need to remember that you also want to swap the engine electrics and I'd suggest you use a 2.0 gearbox as well.

This is when it starts getting interesting. If this is your first swap then look for an RS2000 engine as these should come with all the mounts for you bay and you know the driveshaft lengths and gearbox lengths are all going to work.
