Can I use the zetec engine, which is ~ 170 BHP now, and it was a lot of money... and i love it!! If we rotate the engine to longitudal mode and we make an other custom exhaust system? The Sierra 4x4 gearbox fit to the Zetec (Silver Top) engine?

We have an other idea... just some words: Audi 80 Quattro gearbox, sierra RWD rear axle, Lancia Delta HF Integrale drivetrain... but the idea of you is take it easy.

It is a hungarian Ford Service and Rally Team...
They have an mk3 Escort 4x4, and not the sierra 4x4 drivetrain i think.
Its is a 2.0 Zetec Turbo, with cross mounting engine, but still AWD...

if you are looking for rwd? the t9 gearbox from a sierra saphire 1.8cvh should bolt up to your zetec, you could probably use alot of those parts, axles, gearbox tunnel etc.not too sure how much abuse it will take before i was thinking of a similar conversion to my mk4 rs turbo.. you could still keep the engine non turbo and it would still be pretty quick. if you want turbo.. well i`d personally lower the cr myself, but there is so many options/opinions of tuning for the zetec. i`d like to see the progress if you find a way to do it
good luck with it

yeah i know... my friend can weld an dohc (sierra 4x4) crankcase to the zetec, so it can be solvable...
so i think i rotate the zetec, i put under the dohc crankcase and a complette sierra 4x4 drivetrain, gearbox, etc...

nothing wrong with RWD! and a LOT easier!
and it only being a small engine i doubt it has enough torque to NEED AWD, unless its gonna be raced off-road loads i dont see the point on the extra expense?
RWD zetec is easy =)

nice looking conversion you have there i agree i think rwd would be alot easier.... what gearbox is it you are using in your capri to bolt up to the zetec just out of curiosity?
