too easy and good luck and most of all have fun
custom engine swaps are all basically the same engine mounts, gearbox adapter, exhaust, wiring, fuel system connections and cooling system use the sr gearbox and modify the escort gearbox mount it will make it easier on you cheers bear |

most people are tending to go hilux diffs now, apparently they are just as strong as a 9 inch but a hell of a lot lighter.
there is a heap of ratios availiable to suit the hilux diffs if you go hilux diff it will need to be cut down to suit and so will axles but it will be worth it cheers bear |

Each of these has the same spring centres (940mm) and overall width (1350mm) as an Escort. The spring platform width is equal to the MkII Escort at 60mm but wider than a MkI which has 50mm width springs. These axles have five M12x1.5mm studs on a 4.5" PCD and will require restudding to match the MkII Escort pattern of four M12x1.5mm studs on a 4.25" PCD. The Hilux studs are longer than Escort studs. The MkI Escort has 7/16"UNF studs on a 4.25" PCD. The drum/wheel location boss on the Hilux axle is Ø67mm compared to the Escorts Ø63mm. 80s and later diffs are too wide, and the axles can't be shortened as they are machined down behind the spline. |
