Chris Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 All 3i cabs are 1600's Vearly mk3's had the 1300cvh, later mk5's had the 1400cfi engine.. nope there was never a 1.4i cab or any car as ford never made a 1400 injection engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mossyxrt Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) thats wot i thought, i asked the guy if it says xr3i on v5 or 1.6 or 1.4, and he reckons it says xr3i 1.4?? and also its had inj removed and carb fitted with low pressure fuel pump??????? dunno wot he's talkin about!!! the only 14i that i know of is a single point inj Edited February 11, 2011 by mossyxrt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 the CFI..Carb Fed injection appeared(iirc) in the mk5.. but its really just a posh carb lump to beat emmisions laws.. either way its had a bodge of an engine change probbly to get it into the lower tax bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 i saw that on ebay, was a xr3i originally, then had that engine fitted and he must of informed the dvla of the change so the log book states 1.4 xr3i, but they was never made, why its had that engine change is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avul Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 yes m8 the very early cab's were 1.3 &1.6 carb as soon as ford adopted injection they drop the little 1.3, but i'v got 1 that i'v just started a full restore not many about now, lol beggers belief why sum1 bothered wiv stickin in a 1.4 tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
