is this the right block number?

ST is the code for a diesel 2.5 fitted to granadas/scorpio in 1985

Sierra 2.3 engine codes are YTT and YTR depending on year

peugeot do not have KJ or ST numbers, so it looks as though it is a 2.5d from a granada

ah, i shall pop back to the car spares...thanks!

went back to the car spares shop...and doesnt match at all. he hasnt got a clue and only going from his book.

Off topic I know, but...

If/when it gets written off/scrapped, check the diff, some 2.3D Sierras had the "hens teeth" 3.14 (I think) diff, which is the one the bike-engined-car builders pay 3-4 hundred for on ebay...

Like this one

For a 3.14:1 Diff? Why? All V6 Capris come with 3.07 and the rest of the Capri range is 3.44 and 3.77 (shared with Essies) with the Anglia van going up to 4.4:1

F*ck all point going for a 3.14:1 and paying through the nose.

Cos bike engines rev higher, so the 3.14 is what they want for a slightly less frantic cruising. Fair enough about the Capri diffs, but Jesus christ what do Capri axles weigh ? I carried an Escort axle across a field today over my shoulder and it wasn't funny, a Capri axle would've taken a forklift, and these bike engines aren't exactly brimming with torque.

I know that, and you know that, but a thing is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, and people seem to be willing to pay silly money for the right diff :)

I had a 3.14:1 CWP in my Cosworth. Very nice mod if you've got the power and torque to use it properly :-D

I think that it is most likely that the vehicle in question has got a cortina axle, not a sierra.

Did a quick search on Google & not a lot of things come up for them, but there was this link from last year of another owner

Scrap all that then :)

So it's a campervan with a Sierra engine and Cortina axle ? Weird :)

Hardly. I can carry a Capri axle by hand. They're not much heavier than an Escort one. All you want is the diff and you can shove that in an Escort axle. Plenty of the essie boys buy the Capri LSD axles.

It's a bike engine..they don't do torque.

WTF? I'm only running 3500RPM @ 70MPH on a 3.77:1 1.6 Capri axle.

Ah, yes. I don't do small engines, tend to forget...

A bike normally drives out on a 25ish tooth sprocket to a 60 odd rear, then drives a 18" wheel so if you drive direct to the axle & then out on

Just in case your mad enough to want one

this is the one i won (now minus the decals, and yank number plates etc yeha) oh and wheel trims...
