I built a Mk2 Cortina when I was a bit younger. 2lt escort motor, twin webbers, hot cam, head work, C4 gearbox and capri running gear. It was awesome and I loved it. It ended up getting stolen but I got it back and it was ruined. I was devistated.

Good luck with the build mate, if you use a TE the motor will fit no worries. What box are you going to use?

Back in the day

some of the OZ spec cortina's (mark 4 or 5) came with the 4.1L engine out of the falcon (xe, xf I think).

And correct me if I am wrong.... our BA 4.0L motor s basically a modern day version of that ol' school engine?

My dad had one of the very very few cortina ghia wagons that came to NZ in the late 80's early 90's. Great car. We also had a sedan Mark V which ended up stolen (MOFO's).

Bro, your project sounds like a mean idea. I would love to do that too!

What type of cortina are you building up?? TE? mark 4? or 5?

it will def give us standard XR6t boys a run for their money, hell you may even be able to beat a cordia!

LoL I cant believe how many people are posting up that there car has gotten stolen.. CNTs!

Yeah man not many cortina ghia wagons left anymore :(

Pretty much its gonna be TE and wishen it to have a windback but have to wait and see if I can find it. :(

The power output should be around the 350ish.. at the wheels.. The cortina TE only is about 1100kg stock. So man I should be fine if I can get the power down... By this post today I have gotten offer's from people that are interested in helping me.

Thank you to all for being so nice ... Cheer's!!

Sounds like a plan mate this thing will fly!! Have you done any measuring yet? of the engine? and the bay? I know the ed 6's only just fit in length ways. also you may run into probs in the sump area as you can't modify or change it. Good luck anyways!!
