Not been on for a while but have just farmed through all V6 threads again.
I have gone and done it, I have bought the Granada Cosworth donar car. The 2.9 injection 24v V6 is the daddy. I just need some simple advice at first:
I have looked at websites which advertise kits etc and have noted I need the following;
Reinforced clutch
Engine carrier
oil cooler
water thermostat 71°
Mounting guidelines
enlarged throttle control cable
Flywheel 228 mm
new reinforced starter
changed gearbox bell housing
reinforced water pump
exhaust
Before I get bummed on the price is there anybody out there who can tell me information about the parts, eg morris marina parts fit a S2 lotus espri. Oh a flywheel from a blah will do the same and you can pic a recon one up for £15, that sort of info please.
Fabricating the exhaust is problem free as I want stainless side blowers anyhow. Engine mounting plate, should be able to fabricate one as I have diesel turbo one to start with as templete etc
All the tricky stuff like brain, engine controls, fuel injection etc are easy as done this kind of management swap before in other cars etc.
Should I also be looking at upgrading the brakes and suspension, the crewwy is lowered by 60mm at present.
Cheers in advance for the info guys as I want to start the project and get it finished before winter.
P.S. Leather electric front seats are cool, working out if I can get rear leather seats in as well.
P.P.S. Anybody seen a ragtop conversion for these things, like old army trucks used to have in 60's, metal hoops and canvas covers...
