cortinasuper1500 8 Posted August 1, 2019 Repaired the chassis rail at the engine mount on drivers side, nearside to be tackled next... The bonnet is for sale, the frame is well past being repairable, the skin is still useable, if anyone is interested contact me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cortinasuper1500 8 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Well it has been run and all is good now, the idle was big issue so operator removed and cleaned all the jets and it produced 110 hp and 130 lbft torque. No additional tuning was done with jetting or timing, it had to come off as more engines queued up and was run as massive favor, top bloke...

cortinasuper1500 8 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Having spoken with a knowledgeable engine builder, In his opion the cam timing is not correct as the graph is showing that the power rolled off too early... Where is a Ford H33 cam from? -- Cortina,Capri,Transit,Escort Edited August 6, 2019 by cortinasuper1500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cortinasuper1500 8 Posted August 7, 2019 Cleaning up for the rear valance exposed a gap between the boot floor and the lower rear panel. When applying pressure to the chassis rail it can be lifted 8 to 10mm.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
austwombat 4 Posted August 8, 2019 on mine the boot floor extends to the back of the lip on rear panel making a 3 layer sandwich between rear panel and valence from wheel well to tool kit well. Someone on here should know if that is normal or an "aftermarket accessory" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
