How much horsepower did the 1600 mk2 kent engine have? 1600 escort that is.

Thanks

I think from memeory without looking at my manual its;

43kw from the 1.6 Litres (Mk2) which is about 56.32 hp, although I doubt most would be pushing that much, unless they've have rebuilt since new.

Hop0e it helps

Yeah thanks

I am just wondering how much power i would be looking at from a rebuilt 1600, with twin 40mm dellortos, formula ford cam, worked head, 3 angle valve seats, extractors and straight through exaust, new valve springs as well. How much power do you think I will be producing at the wheels?

Thanks

to a 1600, ya maybe lucky to get 50-60 rwkw. It may feel quick and it would be good for hill climbs and motokarnas, but dont expect to go down the 1/4 mile too quickly.
Probably better off doing that to a 2litre if ya gonna put all that effort in, much better results and easier to source parts. just an opinion, nothing more.

u should get bout 100+hp from it if its setup rite but good luck with that and beeny mac 1600 parts are easy as to get there every where
