1974 Ford Cortina review from Australia and New Zealand
"Well worth the work to upgrade from 2L to 4.1L crossflow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have to manufacture a new crossmember for the gearbox when going from 4cyl to 6 cyl. A lot of messing around, but well worth the effort for the final result.
General comments?
Not worth wasting time with the 4 cyl.
