Featured: Classic Ford Magazine, cover and full article Conversion: In 2000 a 1968 Ford Escort Mk1 1.1lt was selected as basis to conduct the following upgrades: Body The rust-free body was sandblasted and converted to Group 4 specifications by Papadopoulos Racing in Athens, Greece. The front left panel was replaced and the bulkhead was converted to provide ample housing for placing the engine more posteriorly. The entire body was meticulously sprayed in the Alan Mann red/gold scheme. A roll cage by Safety Devices and plastic side and rear windows were installed. The transmission tunnel was also fully restored to match the transmission specs. Engine A BDA engine was prepared by John Wilcox using a 711M cast iron block, BDA cast crankshaft, 83.5mm Cosworth pistons and 2737E rods. The Wilcox-prepared cylinder head features BD3 inlet and exhaust camshafts as well as Cosworth single valve springs. Along with the Lucas AB14 electronic ignition, Lumenition distributor and 45 DCOE Webers performance nears 190bhp at 7500rpm with a 10.44:1 compression ratio with a 9500rpm limit. Lubrication is achieved through a Mocal filter and an alloy 12lt oil tank placed in the trunk along with 2 red-top Facet electric fuel pumps feeding a Malpassi fuel filter. Overall, the engine has had less than 20 hours of operation time since it left Wilcox’ workshop.
