hello there
ive just got myself a stripped mk3 escort shell going cheap from a friend, after some donut finished my mk4 erst off... well to be honest finished off is a little bit of an understatement, obliterated is more the word. like parking his car not only in my boot but rear seats...(SHOULDNT use your phone while driving!)
no chance of saving the shell =(
so ive pulled the engine,box,loom and anything else i could use and bolted it all in my work van (mk4 escort van.)(pub talk been taken a little too far haha) but it makes getting up in the morning and going to work a whole lot better lol
but anyways moving on
in my garage now i have the mk3 rolling shell and sitting outside a 2.0 zetec mondeo.
the mondeo has been my run around while ive been working on the van.

how would i go about 'dropping' the zetec in the mk3, could i just use everything from the mondeo and put it in the mk3?

Engine mounts? can i buy one that will fit because i dont have access to a welder to fab the old one.

i think i may have read something somewhere about changing the sump for a 1.8 fezzy item?(i probley have it wrong lol)

if i was to run throttle bodies how would i go about that?

i know its not going to be quick 'bolt it on and leg it' job.

my first car was my erst and thats the only thing ive worked on.
my problem now is i have no haines manuel lol

in other words...
I NEED YOUR HELP!
i really want to do the work myself then pay someone to set it up proper.

all replys and advice would be very much appreciated

thanks again
David

Hi I know this maybe a little late, but ive done this conversion a few times. Il start with a list of parts you need.
2.0 zetec
1.6/1.8 escort/fiesta zetec sump, oil pickup, flywheel, water pump
mk3 cvh engine mount (no need to modify, 2 boltholes line up and are adequate)
rs turbo clutch (bolts straight onto 1.6 flywheel above)
ashley ashm20 manifold or drill/tap head to accept cvh manifold
mk3/5/6 escort gearbox
mk3 cvh gearbox mounts
mk6 escort top hose
series 1 turbo/xr3i radiator
mk5/6 escort bottom hose
Mondeo engine loom/ecu to include chipped key/transponder, key reader etc/
fuel pump/sender assy.
if you want to run carbs or throttle bodies then you may still use mondeo loom to run ignition or go aftermarket ecu. all depends how good you are with electrics.
any questions then pm me. hope this helps.
