The 650 cfm carburetor isn't too big for a Cleverland. Whether it's the right 650 Holley is unknown. A dyno session would be very helpful if the tune is way off, but less so if it's very close.

I agree with Deankxf. Don't be concerned with 2500 RPM at 100KM/H, that was how they were designed to run. And, it will run out of power before it gets to critical RPM , so top speed will be a power limitation, rather than an RPM limitation. 4000 RPM will be approximately 160 KM/H, 240 ish at 6000 RPM. The low performance Clevo won't have a hope of hitting that

I really like the look of the RS wheels

That was something my first Escort suffered

The Philips globes should last really well. Great product.

Same hemisphere as a 2.77 Yeah, but whats it good for? 2.77 is too tall in my opinion

Agree 100% I cant understand why anyone would want a 2.53 ratio crown and pinion, other than to say they have one

Same hemisphere as a 2.77

Absolutely wouldn't be replacing the radiator because of this. Tanks off and clean at worst, unless the radiator is actually fubar

Not unusual, and not a huge problem

Or a 69 Mustang

Rare spares or someone need to do XD sedan tail lights

I have been keeping an eye on here more since you expressed your intention. I will try to help out

Yeah, I can still buy gas at a servo within 50 km in any direction, just don't know for how long

I would check the adjustment first

XE and XF EFI wagons used an external pump, so there must be a way to do it.

As much as I like LPG, I'm seriously considering converting my dedicated gas AUII ute to ULP. Tanks are due for retest, I have a donor sedan. Just need a ute tank and lines.

Sad really, it's a great fuel

Did you come up with an answer?

I have never heard of the 3.12. I was replying regarding the 2.53.

I have an XE at the moment that I suspect has one too. Slower than they usually are (though that could be due to the elderly previous owner) and a 4.1 auto sedan without A/C. I will take a photo of the tag next time I'm under it.

According to the parts listing, it was only XE 4.1 auto sedan, without A/C. That would make it relatively rare as A/C was a very popular option

Some also had 2.53

Love this car Keep up the good work

Keep in mind there are 2 types of 1300 Escort engine mounts
