I'm looking at a 1979 RS 2000 for my son, what I want to Know , does the complience plate state RS 2000 or just BC escort .
If the complience plate does not state RS 2000 what is the model number for one? Cheers Brett

There was a difference in the 2L engines though - i've been reading that there was both a hi compression and a low compression 2L pinto in the Escorts - i don't know which one was in what though.

In 20 years of playing around with pintos, I've yet to come across a low comp 2.0lt.....Anyone got one?......Then again, I haven't owned many 2.0lt autos (for long)....I'd heard they were in autos but yet to find one.

hmm interesting. Off topic i know but: I haven't looked at my engine to check which it is (i'm assuming high comp as it's a factory manual) yet but why would they make a high and a low compression engine for them?

the motors were the same in the late model escorts - black motor, gear box the same apart from the gear lever, carby, ignition all the same, differences was the front sway bar & it also had a rear one, the rear one was also on some rally packs as an option
