Project Hunk of Junk - Essex Advice Required
I am due to collect another Essex V6 block in a couple of weeks and then while building up a decent engine, I plan to use the old worn block to figure out how to work out some engine mountings for my Phaeton S2. Does anyone have any photos of an Essex in a Phaeton? Ideally in a S2 and showing the mountings. Noticed the build manual (PDF from the DOC web site) suggests using Transit 2.0 mounts on Ford V6 engines. I assume this would be the V4 transit not the pinto. I found some V4 Transit mounts for sale but they were silly money. I have some Capri Essex mounts ans also some Scimitar mounts, which would be the best to use?. Advice and photos would be most welcome.
On another note I have just got hold of a Scimitar overdrive gearbox. Anybody know how to wire up the overdrive?
