BAT BATBAT BAT
BAT is pleased to be able to offer this line of components
for the U.S. specification "Merkur" XR4ti, Scorpio and the
other European models of Sierra lineage. European Sierra
models have been manufactured since 1982 and include
two versions or body styles. We will concern ourselves with
the Mark 1 as it is more similar to our U.S. version. The high
water marks of the MK1 series are the XR4i and the Sierra
Cosworth and R/S 500 models. From the exterior, XR4i is
very similar to the U.S. Merkur XR4Ti in overall looks.
However, under the hood it is powered by a 2.8L V-6 engine
where we have the 2.3L 4 cylinder turbo. The other notable
MK1 car the Cosworth Sierra is simply one of the more
outrageous vehicles Ford has ever offered. The Cosworth
starts life as a base Sierra three door body shell and adds a
high performance engine, suspension, transmission, and
aerodynamics, making it one of the fastest 4 passenger road
cars in the world. Power comes from a 2.0L Cosworth Turbo
YB series engine rated at 205 h.p. in its base form, and
upwards of 550 h.p. in modified rally form. The R/S500
homologation outgrowth of the R/S Cosworth version is
basically a de-tuned race car in street trim. Sierra MK2
versions received a sheet metal make over but share most of the mechanicals of the MK1. Interesting MK2
Sierra's include the Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, and Sierra XR 4x4 - an advanced 4 wheel drive 4 door sedan.
What all this Sierra history means to us is an abundance of specialized
performance parts, many of which bolt-on to our U.S. spec. Merkur. With
this in mind Merkur owners can make an good vehicle even better. It is
very amusing how much attention a Merkur that has been outfitted with
Ford badges and Sierra logos and Cosworth grille commands, let alone
a car equipped with the complete Cosworth body work!

not to skimp on are engine bearings. We supply only the finest ACL/Vandervell
heavy duty lead-indium type bearings. All bearings are not alike, regardless of
who's name is on the box. Lead-indium bearings, not lesser reticular tin-
aluminum, are the only type you will find in quality performance engines.

Performance Engine Fasteners As with engine bearings, skimping
on fasteners is false economy. As a minimum install a set of H.D. rod bolts and
nuts for an added degree of reliability.

Exhaust Components We offer the Modern Performance line of
exhaust related items for the XR4Ti including full systems (hi-flow down pipe,
converter and muffler) as well as cat back systems (excludes converter).
Exhaust piping and mufflers are constructed in heavy 14 gauge aluminized
tubing, converters and mufflers are straight through design for minimum
restriction. These systems are unparalleled for performance and sound great
too. The 3" down pipe can be added to standard or
Borla systems for increased
performance. We also stock the standard Ford cast iron exhaust manifolds
(which are prone to cracking) or alternate stainless tubular exhaust headers.
