Over the winter I'm updating my mk2 Cortina and removing the 2.0 and 4 speed from it.
The engine has been in there since about 1997 , bottom end was fully rebuilt about 4 years ago and has since done maybe 5000 miles. It was rebored +90 with AE pistons crank was all reground with new bearings, oil pump etc. Cylinder head is big valve which I bought from a local engineer who had originally built it for a race engine , had been returned for a freshen up a few years later but then a change of regs left it surplus to requirements. Cam is a FR33 with a vernier pulley. Carbs are dellorto 45's . Distributor is from Aldon which they built for the engine spec.
I have never had it properly set up with the 45's but do have a power run from when it was first put together with the carbs which was 118 at the wheels, a proper tune will improve this.
Rocker cover is apparantly quite special I have been told and maybe from America.
I have used the car regular and the engine is well behaved and ticks over quite smooth for the spec .
Price is just a guide as I am not sure what its really worth. £800
The sump and exhaust manifold are not part of the deal as another mk2 owner wants them.
picture from the last time I had the head off(you can see why).
Also a straight cut 4 speed box , ratio's are lovely with this engine. Comes with a rose jointed shifter. £450 GEARBOX SOLD
If any one want to link it to OSF or similar be my guest.
Engine and box are still in the car at the moment so you can hear it running , I'll even take you out in it.
I'm in Southend ,Essex.
Pm me .
