Default Anglia to Escort

Hey guys,

Wondering if someone could help me out. I am able to get my hands on the rear end of a 105e Anglia, diff, leafs etc. Will any of these parts bolt up to my escort. Is the diff ratio any different, are the drums bigger then those on a 1.6L mk2 escort. Would the leafs be a better swap seeing as I have a 1.6L leafs with a 2.0L engine would it stiffen things up ??

Cheers

PS this is all for a Mk2 Escort (4 door)

The diff head will physically fit your Mk2 housing, but the drive flange will be smaller then the Escort tailshaft.

Ratio will possibly be 4.44 - worth some dollars to someone.

Brakes will be virtually the same size on both.

Don't throw the Anglia housing; they are slightly smaller in width and can be used for a 5 link set up with flares on an Escort. Bit of work but worth it.
