Late 80's Escourt...

[Max]

light body damage, engine cranks, but wont start, was under approx 4ft of water on the right front side for a day since it got ran off the road by a schoolbus, therefore, it might be getting fully repaired for free....

Worth $200?

Clutch was needing replaced, it's a beast with like 88hp...

if i got it, would i have options for other engines in it?

I would stay away... its a flood car

 

[Max]

you say flood car like its a bad thing...

as i said, got ran off the road by a bus, i helped pull it out and push it back to the house, if the district pays for all damages and gets it running again, would it be worth it?



Edit: My intent would probably be a good thing to say...

Just for a beater car, first manual car, to tear the hell out of and not care

You can stuff the Mazda 323 1.6 Turbo motor, the newer 'capri' 1.6 turbo motor, or the 1.8 liter Escort GT Mazda motor into it typically.

"if i got it, would i have options for other engines in it?"

He asked what kinda motors would go into it, I didn't tell him to modify it, why shouldn't he listen to me? the motors I listed fit in that car, with stock mounts no less IIRC.

No prob, another project I looked into in the past was "What can you put into a Ford Festiva" and basically it will eat the same engines as the Fascort (The nickname we gave my buddies old 94 escort)

My buddy had his Grandmas early 90s Escort for a couple days. We decided to drive it around and beat the hell outta it cause it was being junked. Little did we know that the brakes had magically went to a better place while it was sitting in his garage. We drove it a couple blocks, realized the brakes were gone, drove it back to the garage and thanked God we were still alive. We realized why my buddies Dad didnt wanna drive in it after that. And this is the same man who drove a beater Amigo that burned a quart of oil every 100 miles.
