  • I went to visit Jonathan to check out his Mk2 Escort that has been used in a movie. He talked me through his very clever DIY Zetec conversion and then he even let me behind the wheel to experience the 200+ hp beast for myself! 😃

    I remember seeing "The Fence" when it first came out I only clicked on it because of this Escort I can't believe that's the car - Very cool !!!

      I also saw the original short film years ago and only watched it because of the Escort. Im so grateful I actually got to see it in real life and get behind the wheel. 👍

    200bhp from a 2.0 naturally aspirated Zetec, especially a road tractable one with unmapped management and carbs is unheard of. 20 years ago I built a series of 2.0 Zetecs with Dunnell cams and valvetrain, Emerald management, hours on the dyno and a lot more besides. They didn't come close to 200.

    FWIW I had a 2.8i gearbox in one of my old Fords, I shortened the input shaft and used a standard pinto bell housing. I think the slow synchro in 2nd was cured by using ATF in the gearbox. Certainly I do remember the synchro in 2nd was bad when the gearbox was cold...

    • @marcushayesford
      @marcushayesford  Před rokem

      Yes Iv heard that people normally just cut the input shaft down but i think its quite clever to use a spacer between the gbox and bellhousing instead. 👍
