This Escort is an original 2.0 Rallye and has only undergone relatively minor changes in its transformation from road car to track car.

The engine block, crank and rods are what it left the factory with, the head is also original with a Sure cam and larger inlet valves.

Gearbox is it's original 4 speed, the only modifications being a homemade quick shift and a breather pipe/filter to stop oil spraying in the tunnel. The clutch is a 3 paddle solid centre from RaceClutch.

Brakes are standard apart from a vented disk upgrade on the front (Capri vented disk and caliper spacers). It still has the standard brake booster tower and drums on the back.
