Its currently having another engine fitted by Nick @ Tuning Developments, cut a long story short i got my bonnet locked down and was on the way to the garage to sort this out when the car ovearheated and cut out spitting a core plug out the side of the cylhead -
i imagine the bottom end is ok but it might need a new cylhead and obviously a new core plug set which only cost a couple of quid but i didnt want to run the risk of fitting core plugs and the engine still being goosed, there had been signs of it being worn by the oil light coming on and going off under load - i didnt know if this was down to a sensor being broke because the car was also showing as really hot but running perfectly fine.
it turns out i think the engine was on its way out so i sourced a 14k mile old engine that has been rebuilt using brand new ford parts everything from pistons to valves in the head, new oil pump/water pump vernier pulley etc I have receipts for everything and the whole build comes to at least £2500 in parts and labour.
There are a few loose ends i want to sort out with the car little things such as rear demister switch,fog light switch, clips for the bonnet vents and the passenger electric window switch need replacing.
My old 5 spoke mondeo alloys are going to be refurbished in white for the show season because RST look great sat on them style of alloys. Will then have two spare sets of standard RST alloys.
Then the car will need setting up at MSD in blackpool for the new engine. The engine on a very similair setup in its old rst ran 188bhp/200lb ft @ 17psi so im hoping to be close to that figure once its set up.. mine also has a few more bits n bobs than the car the engine came from.
Let me know what you think, i just fancied a complete shift from having a jap car for the past five years or so. Im going to definately be keeping this motor now though and i am thinking about getting another GT as a project to run side by side with this
