Escort 2 Litre Questions...

[race-van]

I have been sourcing parts for my MK2 escort 2 Litre project for about a year now and I have found the engines called a few different names so here is I know are stupid qustions but I need help...

Is the 2L in the MK2 escort a PINTO?

Is there such a thing as a long and short version of this engine?

What is the differnce between the everyday 2L and the RS2000 engine?


And I also have some gearbox questions...

Does the 5 speed cortina box just bolt straight in?
If not is there a 5 speed out there that does?

I look forward to your response...

Thanks heaps....
