Fitting a blacktop into a erst

Few questions

Black top heads are they the same between 1.8/2.0 as people advertise them as they are the same?

The black top mondeo/focus rs Inlet manifolds again are 1800 inlets the same as 2000 inlets

I'm running a st170 bottom end has anyone got any pictures of the idler pulley mod?

I have a converted silvertop engine mount will that fit the blacktop?

I thing the 1.8 and 2.0 heads are the same apart from the cams, the focus rs head has different cams and exhaust valves. And yes the 1.8/2.0l inlets are the same

I can chip in to say the silver top mount won't fit the black top engine. We took the mount off my mates silver top thinking it'd be a straight swap up there not.

On the idler pulley front there was a guy selling a conversion bracket on eBay along with a bracket to drop the alternator down for about Ł40 posted.

He had some nice pieces sourced by me to build a right nice engine. I have all the parts still but he sold his car and looking for a buyer on the engine parts. All still new not even been dummy built yet. I can pass your number onto him for you or vice versa. His on the site can't remember his username I think it's
CGI PETE or pete cgi

Am I right in thinking that it's only this mount that needs a rework and the other mounts line up with the ib5 box without too much issues?

RS-Rikki

Yeah apparently I'm starting the build tonight so I'll start a thread I'm no mechanic so we shall see

HaggisTurbo

Will be good to see Rikki, I'm not far behind you

Yes mate... a 1.3Ka box for example is a perfect choice if you fit a Hydraulic MC whilst your engine is out like Rikki is.

HaggisTurbo

Hi Karlos, That's the plan, got the Ka box, Starter and the flywheel here, just need a clutch and injectors and I am good to go I think, Got the 4x4 T3 in the end
