Mk 1 escort rebirth

[smlfrd]

Hi guys, After the the little old engine in my brothers mk1 gave way about 6months ago he has decided to get it back on the road and has asked for some input on which way to go.

After having a look around there seems to be alot more acessable
parts for the 2L pinto engine. Is this a viable option for him?
can the conversion be done without an engineers cert?
Any ideas and information would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,
Dan

Ford did make a pinto powered RS2000 in the Mk1 as well as Mk2, and sold a few out here, so theoretically it should be legal without a certificate, you just need to do all the same things as what they (or more realistically Mk2 2L cars) came with. Check with your state registration authority to make sure they will be happy with what you are planning.
