Ford 100e

There’s a little bit of misinformation floating about here so let me clear a few bits up.

You’ve got an early 100E Prefect. This was a 4-door 100E with the 1172cc 100E sidevalve engine and 100E banjo axle. It had the bigger stud pattern. From ‘59, the 100E Prefect became the 107E Prefect, which had the 997cc OHV Anglia 105E engine and box, Anglia axle with English diff and the same bigger stud pattern. 107Es have a recessed firewall to accommodate the taller OHV engine. Your current engine is the 1340cc 109E Consul Classic pre-crossflow OHV with the hollow crank.

1500cc pre-crossflow Cortina engine is a direct swap. 1600cc crossflow Escort engine is a close fit but it’s 8mm wider on the exhaust side. Both of those are slightly taller than the 997, 1198 and 1340cc engines. Most crossflow parts fit the pre-crossflow.

Hi,

Correct sir, according to the v5 I got the other day, it’s meant to have the sidevalve.


Someone has fitted this engine at a later date, engine mounts look good.......but I took the carpet up around the gear stick, and it’s a bit of a bodge to cover the original home, just a bent over metal sheet with screws holding it in place 😬, I got under the car and the gearbox crossmember is just a piece of angle bar🤔

I’m yet to measure the stroke on this engine to figure out which one it is (unless you know for sure it’s the 1340)

I'm currently building a mk2 escort front end into a 100e for a lad down the road, sourcing the parts isn't easy or cheap anymore!

105e rear axles also seem to be made of gold!

Tbanks I will let him know, I guess the only problem will be different wheel pcd front to rear.

And having to relocate the spring mounts.....but you’d be doing that with the Anglia anyway

Few diff choices to ive heard from the Suzuki sj410/413 jeeps

Twin 40s would be overkill, the 1200 and 1360 don't rev well with their relatively long stroke and 3 bearing cranks. You may akso have clearance issues to the firewall. A weber dcd on the GT manifold would be more than enough.

I think I have a dcd somewhere if you are interested.

Bookmarked. Love these early Fords

Had a spare couple of hours

So took out the old mouldy ‘grandma’s living room’ carpet

Doesn’t look too bad at all, bit of surface rust, il get a wire wheel on it and clean it up some more later.






Here’s the previous owners tunnel mod for the 4 speed box 😬😬

Are you going for the 24valve and box then?
