which is better 2,8 efi or 2,9 12 v engine form sierra-scorpio

helloo greetings from bulgariq i am big fen of ford sierra,i have 3.two ohc and dohc.i have a idea to buy a sierra 3 doors and to make it cosworth replica,with 2,9 engine to use it for drift this car .i am wondering who is better 2,8-or 2,9

Think everyone would say 2,9 of course whit a big turbo

hhaha i see here in skogen racing the most 2,9 are with turbo,but at this moment it need more money that i have at this time,i want the first step to be the engine then a turbo

2.8 has some strange solution on the exhaust ports. I would take a 2.9 directly

ok thanks for the answers i,now i know which engine to choose.it will be the 2,9

hello guyes i have another question,in different forums i read that 2,9 is with mt75 gearbox other people say it was n9,or 2,9 4x4 is mt75 and 2,9 with rear drive is n9

Here in sweden all 2.9 are fitted with MT-75 and all 2.8 are fitted with Type 9

thanks for the answer,now i have found a scorpio 2,9 and swap the engine in a sierra 3 doors.is there differents in stock sierra 2,9 and sierra 3 doors stock,i mean the tunnel of the gearbox is he different

is there difference in the tunnells of the sierra and scorpio.did the gearbox of scorpio mt-or t9 fit on the tunnel

MT-75 fits in a sierra tunnel

In the UK we didn't get a V6 Mt75! Hence everyone has to build a hyrid from 4x4 and 4 cylinder versions of the box!

Mine was done the other day

Yes i have understand this I have broke a couple of them but they are a bit better than the type 9

here in bulgariq most of the scorpio 2,9 are with type 9 gearbox rwd,just the 2,9 4x4 are with mt75
