2.9l 24V Cosworth in an M-chassis?
Discussion
I don't think the existing exhaust on the Essex is standard, the manifolds are stainless and looks very nice.
The problem may be the carburation, I changed the pump cam on the Holley 390 yesterday, and that was a step in the right direction. Shall continue testing with a larger pump nozzle today. The Holley sits on a Swaymar inlet.
The gas mileage with the Holley has been very good, but probably too lean on acceleration.
BTW, a Scorpio 24V went for £275 on Ebay yesterday.

The stainless exhaust may 'look' very nice but does it flow well?
Perhaps someone could post some pictures of the Tony Law/Ric Wood exhaust and you will see what we mean. Its a real bunch of bananas affair and very effective.
I no longer have my car and have no pictures of the exhaust

Hi John, All, The setup you have are different to my setup as the No1 and No4 bore pipes go down and out through the triangulation of the chassis then join back up with the 3 into one, giving more air space around the oil filter and engine mountings.
John.....give me a call tomorrow, as I have a rear vented disc setup sitting on the bench in the workshop.

I'm glad you said that John...(but, I don't know how to attach pictures either)I went to my storage container and found 3 !!! sets but they just look like a piles of bent tubes when they are not attached to the engine.

Mine was the same as GAjon's (being a copy it would be!) More space around the engine mount (nearside) would be good, as I had to take a small amount off the metal of the engine mount when fitting. I also agree about the oil filter, must 'most' people running this kind of system would have an aditional oil cooler and therefore have the option of a remote filter (which you can mount the right way up, therefore not pissing oil over your lovely clean engine bay at oil change time. I just had a remote filter as my engine always seemed to run quite cool.
Are yours based around the ones in Leon's brown car as that was different to mine/GAjon's ??
