Cooling System (Scorpio)
In addition to our stock of cooling system components for the XR4Ti
we have added the various Scorpio related items to our inventory.
The Scorpio's cooling system is only slightly less complicated than
the XR4Ti's, it's only saving grace is the parts do not vary all that
much from year to year. Again, as with the XR4, components that
we offer are from the O.E. supplier or Ford originals.

High Temp Fyre Sleeve The under hood temperatures on the XR4Ti can
be quite severe. Slipping a length of fyre sleeve over critical wiring or rubber water
& A/C hoses will add an extra degree of protection. Fyre Sleeve provides radiant heat
protection up to 800 degrees. Sleeve is sold per foot and is sized by internal diameter.
Hoses or wiring can be disconnected at one or both ends then slipped through fyre
sleeve or sleeve can be un-stitched at the seam and wire tied in place.

Engine Mount Insulators BAT has an alternative to the recently
discontinued original equipment Ford motor mounts on the XR4Ti. Simply
remove the old motor mount assemblies, discard the worn-out rubber
portion, and reuse the top and bottom metal plates with our replacement
insulators.
Note: slight modification requires 10mm holes in plates to be
increased to 12mm. Scorpio mounts are Ford mfg. direct replacements.

Note:
this "square" type mount can be fitted to the XR4 with special crossmember, (see

the XR4Ti. Fitting the XR with this crossmember/mount combination is a consider-
able upgrade (strength, noise, vibration) over the USA supplied "round" mount.

pF Engine Belts H.D. Our search for the ultimate heavy duty engine
accessory v-belts lead us to the top cog "Gold Series" by Dayco. Top cog v-
belts are built to last up to 20% longer than conventional belts. A unique cogged
design increases flexibility and airflow around the belt for reduced friction and
heat. Laminated design with high temperature rated polyester cords provide
maximum tension holding (reduced slip) over the life of the belt.

Performance Ignition Wire Sets We have tried a number of
different ignition wire options on the 2.3 Turbo and 2.9L V6 engines and have
found the Magnecor brand to offer superior quality, performance, and durability.
Cables are red in color with 8mm, 8.5mm and 10mm cable diameters.

Engine Components
Utilizing a design similar to the earlier German
2000 OHC "Pinto" engine the 2300 "Lima" en-
gine eventually replaced the 2000 OHC in most
North American Ford 4 cylinder vehicles from
1974 on. Built for lower maintenance with the
addition of hydraulic lash
adjusters the 2300
was designed to
operate in a lower
RPM range using
its larger displace-
ment and in-
creased torque to
its best advan-
tage. Perfor-
mance turbo-
charged versions
of the 2300 began
to appear in 1979 in
the Mustang/Capri and continued through the
80's in a more refined and powerfull EFI turbo
version. A reduced bore 2000 displacement
"Ranger" truck engine (from 1983-87) was also
produced. Some late production "Lima" engines
are equipped with hydraulic roller cam and valve
train, and other versions use dual spark plug
cylinder heads. The 2300 is a fairly rugged
engine in its stock form, however some compo-
nents will require up-rating with performance
components if high RPM duty is required. The
"Lima" series turbo and normally aspirated en-
gines respond quite well with a bit of perfor-
mance tuning and though lacking in refinement
do give quite a bit of bang for the buck.

Transmission & Related Components
pHShifter- A serious short throw competition gear lever
featuring a robust large diameter shaft placed within a
spherical bearing. The all metal construction will cause
additional transmitted noise but this is a small penalty to
pay against the strength, speed and quality of the gear
change achieved. M717
pIGear Oil- Torco synthetic gear oil is designed to
withstand tremendous heat and provide extreme anti-
score protection under high torque "shock loading"
conditions. That is why most Indy car and drag race teams
rely on Torco protection. Torco SAE 75w90 gear oil is GL-
6 rated and includes limited slip additives. Great for both
transmission and differential applications. Torco synthetic
gear oil greatly improves the shift "feel" of T9 transmission,
shifting becomes light and precise, almost like a tune-up in
a bottle. Notes: transmission will require 2 quarts (2.25 to
3.34 pint capacity depending on year) and rear axle 1 quart
(1.6 pint capacity) Gear oil not for T5 transmissions (use
ATF type fluid). C2S
pJQuadrant & Pawl Kit- When the clutch pedal "ratchet
adjuster" wears out it contributes to poor pedal feel and an
annoying clicking noise. Renewing the quadrant and pawl with
this handy kit will alleviate the problem. M368
pK Rebuilt T9 Transmissions- Highest quality factory
certified remanufactured T9 transmissions with European
gear ratios (3.65:1, 1.97:1, 1.37:1, 1.00:1, 0.82:1). M700

pG Short Shift Kit- If anything can be added to enhance
the "link" between driver and transmission while rowing through
the gears on the XR4 or Scorpio 5-speed this is it. We have a
dynamite quick shift kit that fits standard T9 Hummer transmis-
sions. If you like the shifter "feel" on Hurst equipped Mustang
GT, this kit offers similar results. Customers often remark that
this shift kit is one of the best modifications that they have made
to their cars, especially considering the price and ease of
installation. Just think about how many gear changes you make
in a day, let alone a week, or year. Shouldn't every shift be quick,
light and precise? M715
