PassMeTheGun Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 It's been a while since I updated this. I managed to get the 400r pretty reliable on the megajolt ignition but started having trouble with the oil pressure going through the roof. The last outing was a classic speedfair up at knockhill where I met a few of the "Clan", nice to meet you guys I planned to take the car down to the annual Escort meet down at Kames in Ayrshire (a mate of mine has a couple of mk2's) but the engine just wouldn't make it. I had a brave attempt the night before to put a 2.2 in it but at about 2am we gave up (didn't have the correct thermostat housing bit, doh!). The 2.2 came back out a week later and I got my hands on a 2.9 cossie v6. I've got a deadline of May to get it reliable again as it's booked in for an Old Skool Ford tracknight (you've gotta try to educate them). Problem is I've just been offered a 3.5 Rover V8 with 5spd manual box. What should I do? The V6 is gonna be a bit of a bitch to wire up and map with Megasquirt, but the V8 should be pretty much plug and play but how easy does it fit in a manta? Any help appreciated.

mark morris Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Ive just dug out a photo of the car, it was local to where i used to live, parked behind some garages in Three Crosses, swansea, i would guess the pic was taken around the mid 90,s. I think the car was handed down and the owner drove it for a while but then tried selling it for silly money, it sat for a while then dissapeard. When i took a pic it was a totally standard Gt-j, black plastic bumpers, rostyle wheels etc Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 400's pretty much unloved at the moment, I've moved down to yorkshire but the cars still in the garage in scotland sans engine/box! I need to get my arse in gear and do something about it, looking back thru the thread it seems a shame to leave it. Ho Hum.
