2.3 pinto turbo

Hi All,
i have just joined the forum, and have just got a 2.3 pinto turbo engine from a ford sierra merkur xr4ti to hopefully put in to a mk1 escort, i have so many questions which hopefully some members can help me out with, but firstly does anyone know if the american 2.3 pinto will marry up to a t-9 gearbox, also if anyone knows of anywhere in the uk or europe to get parts for these engines it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ian

Hi and welcome!

The 2.3 is very rare here in sweden, i don´t know if if the T9 gearbox will fit. I think you will have to look for parts in America

Hi Mikael,
Thanks for your reply, the 2.3 does`nt seem to be very popular here in the u.k. either, i was hoping that i would`nt have to purchase from the u.s. as it`s too far away, but thanks anyway
