Default MK2 Escort - Pinto Upgrade

Hey guys,

Just a few questions regarding fitting a pinto to a MK2 Escort. I have a 78 1600 manual escort and have picked up a 2.0 OHC to fit in it. I think the engine is out of a Cortina as it has a deep sump.

Just want to know if i need to change to an escort sump & pick up? also will the 2.0l Cortina engine mounts work on the Escort crossmember? Will the old 4 Speed Bolt up and work? And will the 1.6 Radiator (with a good cooling fan) cool it or should i upgrade that also.

Anyone that has done this conversion (seems like alot from what i have read on forum) any tips, tricks or advise would be awesome....

Cheers
Lee
