sub 1100kg is factory weight x 3 = cc's over 1100kg is factory weight x 4.82 = cc's |

Turbo/super charged engine In millilitres (cc):Original tare mass (kg) x 4.0 No factory Escort is over 1100kg, from memory the heaviest was a 2.0L Escort Ghia Auto 4dr with the works, I think it stated 1080kg in the owners manual, don't quote me on it, I am thinking it is less as a panel van was only 890kgs (the lightest variant) with a 1.6Kent which is appox 30kg less than a 2.0L Pinto.

My MK2 escort sedan with the 2L in it weighed 880kg.As for my engine choice have decided to turn it into a drag car.I am putting a clevo into it.I have already cut the firewall and front floors out ready to mount the motor/box in.I will be using a shortened borg warner diff.
