Re: Ford Escort RS1800
Fabricated carburetor linkage. The linkage attaches to the cylinder head so I must wait until everything is permanently installed the complete the rest.

Re: Ford Escort RS1800
How do you cut and shape the metal? I have tried before, but always bend the pieces.

The exhaust ports are on the very bottom of the cylinder head. Yes my header should be attached just slightly higher. However that would have necessitated making a custom built header. I'm pretty happy with the kit part header so I chose to make a small compromise.

I am trying to figure out the oil and fuel system plumbing. If any one has a diagram or information I would appreciate the help.

Here I have fabricated the fan. I think I am just about finished with the engine because I am running out of things to add to it.
