The V6 type 9 bolts on, well after you have fitted a proper flywheel as I think they are all used with autos. Not sure if you would get one in a hood as the heads are pretty wide, a friend fitted one in a Cobra, went very well.

There was one at Stoneleigh with it in, I saw it too. Very impressive. Sounded awesome as it left as well.

The Scorpio Cosworth lump is an evolution of the Cologne so the same gearboxes will fit there are V6 versions of type-9 and MT75 in both two and four wheel drive flavours. In fact as already mentioned most of the Cossie V6 engines came connected to auto's as standard so when converting to manual you usually need the flywheel and clutch assembly from a Cologne to replaced the torque convertor.

 

A mate of mine builds/prepares rally cars for a living and told me recently that they used a Scorpio Cosworth as a chase car on a rally in which they were running a Group N Sierra Cosworth. Apparently the Scorpio had a Turbo-Technics conversion and he reckons they could probably have pushed the Sierra through the stage faster than it could make it on it's own.

 

If only I could afford such a lump for the 200.

It's not mine - I didi see it as was in front of mine and I didi speak to the chap - Didin't get his name to be honest. It was in a 2b - it wouldn't go in my S7 as heads are too wide. It was kenny Broughs old car. It will use a v6 2800 type 9 box. same bolt pattern - not sure on flywheel. It is a common exchange for the Capri injections chaps. I did consider but my S7 is a bit tooo narrow. it did look a tight squeeze even in a 2b.

It's fitted to an MT75 box. It goes like the clappers as well. Apparently there are only 5 or so wires to connect to the Scorpio ECU. Iv'e also been told that the ECU is self learning to your driving style. It's owned by a lad named Robert. He goes by the name of Tarmac Terrorist on this site. Cheers Ken

MT75 needs built up. There known as hybrid boxes. They are the front case and input shaft from a V6 4x4 box and the rear Gears and case of the 2wd box.

Ford only made a few proper 2wd V6 MT75 boxes so there rare.

 

I have had 2 built. One is behind my BOB 24V cossie and the other is a spare incase of breakage.

 

 

The TT Scorpio was a V6 12V and not a 24V cossie. Should have also been 4x4. There was one on Ebay not long ago

Scorpio Cosworths had traction control and no LSD and the newer "BOB" 207bhp engine - Granada Cosworths had LSD's and the original "BOA" 195bhp engine

 

I keep waiting for this to die so I can pillage the engine but it just refused to go wrong!

 

 

That's a BOB engine.

 

BOA engine:-

 

 

BOA engine is easier to fit as you can take the loom and the ECU straight out of the donor and transplant it. BOB is harder as it's a nightmare to seperate the PATS system - easier to fit if going after market ECU - Megasquit etc.

The Scorpio Jim was driving was definitely a Turbo-Technics conversion on a BOA Cosworth lump. Given the nature of their business though it could well be a one-off where the owner (or a previous one) had simply driven it into their workshop and waved a cheque-book over it.

 

I'm told the BOB engines will run just fine on BOA management and that it's quite a common way to get around the PATS problems. Apparently the BOA also responds well to having the BOB cams fitted.

 

I was offered a Scorpio Cos that had been rear-ended by a bus last week for £300 - so tempted to grab it but I think it would be a bit too heavy for the 200. I'm fairly set on a YB as I'd like somehwere over 300 gee gee's.

 

I am looking at the I4 conversions that are going on though as people are seeing good results from hybrids of the 2.3 bottom end with the head from a 2.0 16v (both from Scorpio's or Galaxy's) running on MkV Escort RS2000 cams and management. I'm hearing about similar sort of torque figures to the V6's with only a little less power and they are a good deal lighter and smaller.
