  • escort bp engine

    found a bp engine.... sucks because I already pulled a b8-me and am already mounting stuff up. can I just swap the head later on or do i need to do other stuff. Doesnt the bp have oil squirters under the pistons? The BP has VICs too so would that do require anything on the block?

    Be happy with your b8me. It's a perfectly fine engine. I'll build you a custom intake manifold and maybe a turbo exhaust mani if you really want.

      how much for an intake? Would be nice to have one where I don't have to move the engine mounts forward so the mani doesnt bump the firewall.

        That's the easy part. Do you have a picture of your intake attached to your engine

            Look at all that space you have above your intake for a water air intercooler. Are those 2 part manifolds?

                  BP has stronger crank, stronger rods, stronger block, oil squirter and a different oil pump and water pump. The heads do swap back and forth, but the engines are not created equal.

                      B8ME is a great engine.
