- Ford 20m Cosworth V6
Now it`s been a couple months since I joined the forum, and it`s about time I post some pictures and tell you what goes on.
The car is a 1969 Ford 20m xl hardtop. I bought the car six years ago, and it is an ongoing restauration. The biggest change that has been done to the car is the engine and driveline. The old 2.3 had to go and I put in a 93` 2.9 24 valve V6 also known as the Cosworth V6. Keept the A4LD that came with the engine, made a 3" middle axle, chaged the gear ratio of the original rear axle and installed a zf diff from a european rally escort.
When I first desided what changes to do to the car, my main goal was to make a nice cruiser, take the wife and kids on a trip every now and then. But the car has proven itself as an exellent bracket racer.
Wheels are Junk Yard Dog from Boyd, had them custom made to fit my bolt circle.
This is what the stock first generation cosworth V6 looks like.
Here is a couple pictures of the enginebay as it is today, I made a new plenum for it. The plenum is part of what to come, saves me some very needed space for a single turbo setup. I have already made the turbo manifolds, if there is an interest to the project I can post pictures of them later.
These car`s are getting rare and there are hardly any aftermarked performance bits and pieses to buy, so everything has to be made in the garage.
Lot`s of changes has been done to the car.
Here is a picure of the car after I had it repainted, started cutting and welding first day of easter this year and worked around the clock for 9-10 day`s. Had to remove 1/2 square meter of plate + both wheel arches in the back. One H**L of a job, but the car was painted at april. 26. I won`t do that again..!
As mentioned the gearbox is a A4LD, I don`t know much about it so finding this forum has been like finding a gold mine for me.
Got a few questions about it and will post them later today.
This being a rare car in europe, and an exremely rare car in the US, I hope you like it. It is different, that`s for sure.
