cheers Guys - IS300 - straight 6 - quite a nice sounding engine - not sure on the whole budget of one of those - have to watch what I am spending though

1 - is the engine bay long enough big enough? - Should be - if not I can always cut and Chop (not afraid of the angle grinder)

2 - enough clerance for the gearbox and shaft. - Wide Tunnel can be fitted/Fabricated no probs

3 - Rear drive diff .... issue. - please explain?

4 - engine / box mounts - again - I should be able to fabricate something to fit well.

5 - electrical wiring / using existing loom or replacing. - this is the only thing I have no clue about!!

whats the deal with the ECU - has anyone fitted Carbs/throttlebodies on these engines if so where can I find the info ( point me in the right direction gents :winky:

Cossie - is too expensive plus I like to break away from the Norm!! I have driven the IS200 and I really get on with it - but again this is an information gathering session so my mind may be swayed....

cheers for the comments fellas -

What capacity is the IS300 engine?

Cheers

Hello All - I dont have an IS200 but I am planning on getting one / or the running gear at least and then grafting the entire thing to this

My Mk2 Escort RS 2000 Thunder Saloon Replica

What do you think?

Will it work ?

What do the boffins say? any problems I am likely to run into?

I need a shedload of info before I go ahead and actually do this so - any feedback positive/negative at all is good - dont be shy - I wont be

The car has taken 4 years to build but still loads more stuff needs to be done
