I am wondering if the 1.6 ltr trans was compatable with the 1.9 ltr engine? Thanx for any help!

As long as you stay with in the First generation, should work.

Just a 1.6 trans wont work in a 2nd gen 1.9 Escort.

^^What Jeff said. So if you just happen to find a 1st gen. 5 speed laying around you just might have to pull a swap. 5 speed + 2.3L Turbo = Way too much fun. 8)

Yeah that's the idea. Thanx for the quick replies!

There's a dood at turboford.org with a 1.9 GT-HO 5 speed bolted up to a 2.3t, I'm not sure how much work he needed to do, but it said it pretty much bolted right on.
There's also a guy with a 2.3t in a Tempo with the original tempo tranny. I guess the Tempo and 1st gen Escort have a bunch in common to.
A Toruas 3.0 V6 in a first gen has been done to.

I am 2.3tscort on the turbo ford site. Do you know the guys name?

I have seen a couple v6 tempos around...did they have AWD or where they at least fast?
