Fitting of Datsun cranks into Ford Kent pushrod based engines has been very popular here in New Zealand for a number of years. It has also been done in Australia and South Africa. Bob Homewood told me about this alternative when the crank in my Escort Twin Cam was cracked, and all susbequent Ford/Lotus cranks subsquently found were cracked too !!. Since then I have modified Datsun cranks to suit Lotus Twin Cams, Ford/Cosworth BDAs, and 1600 Ford Crossflows. All L16 and L18 Datsun cranks are made from a factory steel forging. It is but it is certainly a tough steel as it gives the carbide cutting tools a very hard time when being machined. These cranks are an inexpensive alternative to UK sourced steel cranks, not as strong ultimately but certainly far stronger than the OE Ford cast iron cranks.

If like me, you forgot to change the timing belt at the last service and it went “ping” while driving to the shops, you may wish to invest in new engine, or at the very least a few new valves, rockers and possibly the cylinder head… If you are sensible and know that it needs changing, then this little guide is for you. Applies to the 1.4 and 1.6 CVH or PTE engine, but can be applied generally to other models too. Pictures and references to Haynes are made in square brackets where appropriate!

It’s by far the engine swap we get asked the most about, so here are the main points you need to know about dropping the legendary 16-valver into your Escort. The Zetec spearheaded the new-wave of modern 16-valve Ford engines being fitted into classic Fords around eight years ago, and it hasn’t looked back since.
