Unleaded or not

Hi.I was just reading chriscapriman 2.0l pre facelift resto thread. How can I tell if my motor is leaded or unleaded?

I know what to look for on the pinto, but don't know about the V6, there should be a number stamped on the heads.

Any motor thats pre- 1988-89 will not be unleaded as standard. All Mk2 colognes are not unleaded, also pintos.

Bugger how will I know what cologne I have in JJ?

JJ has a carb so def not U/L

BUM!

Just use lead replacement, £2.99 a bottle from Maccess

I was told my 2.8i special was unleaded so have been using that with no probs, won't be an issue when i get a 24v in it, i'm on the lookout for an mt75 box with a v6 bellhousing, there's one on ebay at the mo but the guy wants £300 for it and i don't have that sort of cash at the mo

If you look at the exhaust flange, there will be a letter stamped on it, very rarely it will have a D or E which means it is unleaded, but Ive never heard of anyone having one!!! They engine I have has been rebuilt by Fords in 1999 and still isnt...

Not an issue anymore Alan as it has the cossie in it which is unleaded anyway

Im thinking of going the same way!!!
Is that you Paul?

Yes it's me Alan, Trigger from the transit forum, this is my forum lol, didn't you recognise the Red Granny in the header pic?

Alan a cossie will be a doddle to fit in your van, engine mounts are the same, your c3 or a4ld will bolt straight up, the 24V uses a coil pack so if it fouls on the bulkhead just move it somewhere else (can't do that with a dizzy), as for exhaust buy some flexy pipe which can be bent to shape which is what i used, 24V cossies can be bought for peanuts, buy a scrap mk3 pull the engine out and weigh in the rest and get at least half your money back

Hi Paul, yes I did reconise your car up top...
Cossie might be a project for next year I think, Ive just got this one fitted and would like to see it running for a season

Alan if you do decide to fit a cossie if you need any advice or help give us a shout mate

Yes, will do.
