Nice!

I had v6 mk 1. Trying to fit v8 in car without cylinder heads and exhaust is probably not the way. Mk 2's have a lot more room under the hood than mk 1. My mk1 v6 blew all away around tight streets. Even mates worked Valiant 318 coup ! 289 was next but I went into Falcons instead. Good luck mate. Cheers from New Zealand

pretty sure one of them was a 64 fairlane thunderbolt

believe it or not...I had an Air scoop like that on my car...it literally pulls the air away from the carb and starves it out at hi speeds.... Ford used to remove the Hi beams and run hoses directly to the carb thru a special air 'cleaner' so to speak... I was a teen an didn't quite understand the dynamics of the air flow,,, having it facing the back air was pulled out of the engine bay to cool it... it really wasn't a scoop... that's what the tubes running from the hi beam 'removal' did... look it up...in Ford race cars with that scoop...they always supplied air to the car thru the hi beam headlight delete holes

i saw a 3 litre v6 version 5 speed all wheel discs = dark blue with black interior 1/2 cage roll bar = super fast scary in the wet toy play songs on the gas peddle !

Great to see the Cortina coming along. Looking at the rot, there is nothing there that scares me and in fact it is less rotten than most I have seen over the years. The places it has gone are all typical for the model...and don't be surprised if there is rust in the lower lip of the windscreen / rear glass apertures when you get the glass out, as they were famous for hiding it there - especially in the corners of the A and C pillars. The two-door was fairly rare not to be in GT or Lotus spec and even then, there weren't many two-door cars produced or shipped outside the UK. The gearbox that came out would have been a Borg-Warner BW35 - a typical unit that was used in many British cars of the period. In the Cortina though, it was horrible. The box never really used first gear except to roll off the mark, so second gear had a heck of a job to do before dropping into third. However, because of the diff ratio (I think), the gearbox had a mind of its own when you'd pull out to overtake if you were doing between 40-55mph (64-88km/h) and would kick back into second if you floored it. The problem was that if you were doing anything 50 (80km/h) or over, by the time the box realised it should not have chopped down, you were inevitably run over by the truck coming the other way! A big, heavy beast of a gearbox, they did put up with a heck of a lot of abuse and were also used in the likes of Jags (both the straight 6s and V12s) and even the Triumph Stag. I am seriously looking forward to seeing the bodywork complete and then seeing it come together with that marvellous 289. The T5 sounds like the right box for the job for sure, too and although there will be additional weight up front with the engine, there are ways of saving weight with some of the Mustang components that you're looking to put up front to beef her up a bit (and sad to say it all comes down to budget). Also, there are aluminium / fibreglass panels that (if regulations allow) could be substituted for the likes of the bonnet and boot lid....although maybe not in rural Saskatchewan! I must admit though, my mother never had issues driving the 4-door MkII of Dad's with its 289 and 4-speed...and at 5'3" and slight built, she would have struggled if the unassisted steering was heavy. We also owned a 1937 Hillman Hawk and she would swear and curse under her breath as she heaved on the steering wheel in that, so my statement is not without precedent. I seem to remember Dad carrying a couple of large concrete paving slabs in the boot when he went to the drag strip and I do remember that the vehicle could spin the wheels in third gear under the right conditions and light them up even when starting off on a downhill slope, so I don't think the paving slabs were for homologation purposes, eh.... Being that this was in the mid-late 70s, performance tyres were not as sticky as they are now and there would be certain liberties that you will be able to take with the Cortina for the track that Dad couldn't for the road-going car - especially with the setup of the rear end - so getting the power down on the tarmac may not be as difficult. Man, I wish I lived closer! I'd love to come and give you a hand with the body and general fit-up....and my wife is getting worried because I'm talking about what you blokes were about to do and then thinking aloud about the options for repowering my Triumph 2500S sedan when its engine comes up for rebuilding soon! There's one (or two) very large puddle(s) between you and me though, so it's not an easy drive to get there. Maybe one day....if only to see and hear that car on the track! All the best

Wrong front end. The Mach1 had an endura front bumper, painted to match the body color, and the hood and side trim were the same. Keep the chrome for the sportsroof whereit belongs.

I had a 4 door fitted with the engine , box and diff from a 3.0s capri, kind of a savage replica , that was 1994 here in Scotland.

You’re Kidding! Serendipity! 👍

Putting like a Kitten! 🐈‍⬛

Old school! 😂

Kudos to Adrenalin Motors! 👍

Live & Learn! 👌

I’ve never seen a muffler repair without the application of a gallon of muffler cement. Kudos! 😂

fuel pump: sorted. LOL

eek. this is stressful and I'm not even there.

Projecting good your way!!

LOL Knuckle duster gear shift

Epic.

4.5 hours of sleep, hot and sweaty, life is good!

This is all very exciting!!!

My mum had a 1500 auto. This car really takes me back.

Should be a V6.😊

To the people who question the tail lights, I checked them and they do not say AMC, or Hornet, or have a year on them, nor do they say Ford, or Cortina. What they do say is “Canada”. That suggests it is a variant for the Canadian market. Not conclusive, but a possibility. I know the Hornet did not differentiate taillights for Canada.

How has that thing survived in a field in canada?

Wow! The ol' MkII 2-door! Don't see many of them about any more. Back in the day, a lot of them that were poverty spec were turned into Lotus Cortina replicas, although most didn't get the twin cam Lotus engine for obvious reasons. Same options down here in New Zealand on the late 68 through 70 models - the poverty spec 1300 crossflow or the 1600 crossflow (aka 711M or 'Kent' engine). The earlier MkII (67-early 68) had the 1200cc and 1500cc non-crossflow engine that was carried over from the MkI. The 1600 was the best of the bunch for power power and modification ability, with the pre-crossflow 1500 being the block that was used for the twin cam Lotus head. Great little cars in and of their time, they still perform well now and trying to find one that has not been repowered with a 2-litre Pinto or heavily modded 1600 is a hard call. Funny you mentioned the 289 - my Dad traded his '67 MkII GT for a '67 MkII Cortina that had a 289 out of a Mustang GT, the 4-speed gearbox out of a MkIV Ford Zodiac and a shortened Mustang diff. It backfired through the carb one night and the engine bay caught fire, destroying a lot of the wiring and melting the carb itself. Dad decided that what the engine needed was a bit more breathability, so sat down with it to plan the rebuild, which included balancing and blueprinting from one end to the other. I don't know what the internals were or the final cubic inches or horsepower, but I do know that it sounded awesome, was bloody quick and she red lined at 7200rpm, so he must have had some serious internals and a wicked cam. I also know that the speedometer needle would easily wind around to where it would point straight down through the middle of the high beam warning light on the dial - about 140mph - and still wanted to keep going. He was doing that one day along an undulating road a few miles from our home and on one crest we suddenly found ourselves airborne. After she landed and Mum gave him an earful, Dad backed it off to a relatively sedate 90mph which, considering the open road speed limit at the time was 50mph / 80km/h, was a good start! This vehicle (we called it "The Beast") was a 4-door, she was white with an orange vinyl roof (it was the 70s after all), orange pinstripes on the body line on each side and orange paint in two rectangles on the bonnet and boot lid in the style of the Mustang GT livery. After the fire, the orange on the bonnet and boot was painted satin black. It was a great car and gave Dad much joy every time he drove it....although after imitating the Wright Brothers, he never drove that quick again with Mum or us kids in the car. I'll look forward to seeing how this progresses, guys! All the best.

Great fine! That has loads of potential, can even take a small block Ford v8

I know what I'd put in it, got it in my shop. Something that would keep weight dist. more reasonable and capable of more bhp than it should have. No I won't tell you, you wouldn't approve, about which I couldn't care less.

Good on you to have the vision to film and document the build while your working on it.

i do not recognize the taillights i,m in australia had a couple of 1600,s never seen those units i wonder what they from?

Outstanding Build!

saw it on Kijiji last year & missed it, I bought a MK2, 2 door from Ontario. Be interesting to see how the resto goes. If you need help with parts, let me know.

To the people who insist that the taillights are not Mk2 Cortina units, perhaps they're not in your part of the world. There's a possibility that the Canadian delivered Mk2's used their own unique taillight. The U.S delivered Mk1 Cortina's had their upside down "Peace" symbol taillights changed from a combination Amber-Red lens to an all Red lens, maybe Canada had their own rules / regulations with respect to taillight specifications. I have never seen any other Canadian Mk2 Cortina's so I cannot confirm, but as Rodney's Rods has stated in other reply's they fit perfectly like they're meant to be there.

Yessss it's a ford, did you ever see one before it's a CORRRTINAAA. Word of advice please screenplay before or end up looking like NODDY.

Way back in 1992 I brought a 1500 mk2 Pre xflow with manual column change was a elderly gentleman who brought it from new in 67 it had bench seats as far as I know only about 5 were still around in them days an extremely rare car then I wonder how many are left now? I wish I still had it now❤

Never seen a rear light like that on a MK2 Or steering wheel like that

WW2 and then the American's buy the beetle I'm in the UK and mostly buy British Don't like beetle's

I had a 67 1300 cortina 2 door (2 doors were less common than 4 doors,), mine had the pre-crossflow engine, if you're looking for parts try these people ua-cam.com/video/uxFHfq3qPgM/v-deo.htmlsi=D-Z-GtJOmQ689bRP although a 4 door it's got the rostyle wheels and tail lights and probably lots of other little bits you could use, i'd go with the pinto engine (you could go to 3 litre v6 essex and have a savage cortina and have everything bolt to together) as the 289 would make it very front end heavy whereas the pinto can be made to go good (still plenty of stuff available) and the handling can be good.

A very nice project for you or someone else, watching this in Wales UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

The UK cars did not have column change. That must be a US only spec.

I had a Cortina 1600 GT as my first car, awesome little machine. Couple of photos here: ua-cam.com/video/sn4UtFywxrc/v-deo.html

The fender badge was a small ford oval badge (70’s style)

I've had 3 of those Tina's they are very British they made the 3ltr savage and I think an Australian v8 not sure I know they had the capri mk1 parana there ,nice cars thanks for sharing oh they also had the lotus version incase you didn't know haha

Had a 68 2dr back in 1994 fitted with 351 cleveland c4 and 9'' diff. engine bay length and trans tunnel size were the issue. recessed the fire wall 6inches and fabricated new trans tunnel and it fitted. Was bit of a handfull

The rear lights are not cortina Mk2, they are off something else,

DONT TOUCH OR INHALE BLACK MOULD IT WILL MAKE YOU EXTREMELY ILL....BAD BACTERIA...GET THAT CAR STEAM CLEANED !!!

My second car , in Oz. Swapped out the motor in half a day with 1500 mk1 . Went great. Chassis rail rusted tho. Got welded up.

Put the rad inside the front panel right behind the grill, there is about 4-5 inches dead air space there.
