Guest Bloody-Fox Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 if its just the engine you will need an exhaust and a loom other than that it seems fine.provided u get everything with it oilsump and oilpump already chanced, engine sealed up fresh, new waterpump, cog belt, sparks and oil filter brandnew, 2litre controller and loom included... thats all i know but the guy didn`t name a price, he wants a bid for it... how much shall i say?

Guest Bloody-Fox Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I thought over that a wee while, and i think a car at that age deserves cups, not more miles on the clocks.... So i won`t use it as all day car anymore... That gives me more options and a bigger range of engines to choose from, but i`m not really sure about... Any suggestions?

f40 cab Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) hi mate ok if i was you and you wanted an everyday driveable car id go 1.8 zetec out of escort mk 5 or above rs 200 is a pain in the arse to fit, engine mounts gearbox mounts, the 2.0 zetec again is not straight forward swap , you would also need a 1.8 engine from escort for the sump, flywheel, oil pickup pipe engine mount needs moddifying and change the water pump oil pump belt set up. because the zetec's are efi and yours is mfi you will need to change the wiring loom from dashboard to engine mating the wires together. you say you want a reliable everyday car like tony alwallys told me stay away from turbos expensive need looking after and use alot of fuel. im fitting a 2.0 zetec turbo to my car but its only going to be for shows and weekends not everyday drive. i would get a 1.8 rear damaged escort the 130bhp one. and use it to swap engine and wiring over. i know it all sounds confusing but what ever you decide theres enough people on here that have done these conversions to help you out, good look. ps dont bother with zvh if you going to do that you might as well go the full way and get full zetec.
