Gavin Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 For sale, one 1300cc Crossflow engine which is a good runner, came out of a mk1 Escort to be replaced with a Pinto. It comes with a 4 speed 3 rail box, 1 piece prop, all ancilleries, starter etc., radiator, hoses, air box. All has to go, offers around £90.

Gavin Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 I did try to post them on the forum the other night I registered with them but still can't post on the forum, can anyone put a link on for me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickieB Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Is it a 711M block? (It will say so on the side) ? I guess not since you say it was a Mk1 Escort. You will notice I race Locosts! If it is not 711, then I will advertise it on Locostbuilders for you, but they should want a 711 block (although if they don't know what they are doing, you might get away with it! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi, it is a 711M block, didn't even think about looking to be honest. They are the thicker walled blocks aren't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrustyjust Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 They did put 711m blocks in earlier cars.The block is basically stronger in the main caps etc,but with a 1300cc lump,there won't be much fighting to make it break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickieB Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've regularly had 7300 rpm out of my 1300 block. They're jolly strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
