dav105e

I am thinking of putting a zetec blacktop
In with bike carbs. Does anybody know what's needed
To put the engine in. I would be grateful if any
One can tell me what's needed and any how to guides
Thanks

Mondeo engine with wiring loom. Then you'd benefit from aftermarket management if you want to fit carbs

Thought I would take the car for an mot this
Week with the 1.1 engine still in to see what's
Needed. It went through with 3 advisorys, brake pipe, exhaust bracket
And a dodgy earth on the back light. Tomorrow
I'm fitting the bumpers, clocks, rs1600i front splitter
And rear spoiler, rear spats. Also going to mop the car
And use it until I have the rest of stuff needed
To put the rs2000 engine in. Will post pics tomorrow

I wish my car went through the MOT that easily

dav105e

Fitted the spoiler,bumpers,rear spats and front splitter today.

cool project fella all the best with it

I thought the inlet would foul the brake bar when i trial fitted one in mine!
Is it possible to fit the engine without chopping anything on the chassis? What about if a custom engine mount was made to suit the standard chassis?

dav105e

mine sits in fine, modified the front mount and the drivers side mount.ive used the cvh box so didnt need to chop anything out

16vzetec

Nice. got any pics of the top mount mods? Also how did you mod the front mount? My mk4 has a cradle so restricts adjustment.

dav105e

I will take some pics of top mount.
Here is the front mount being lined up.


I cut a bit off of another mount and welded it to
The top of the existing 1.

rstom95

shift well that but dunno about the front indicators

dav105e

Them indicators are coming off. They were already
on when I bought it. I think they are hideous

rstom95

will be nice to see the out come of it good luck

dav105e

Couple of pics of drivers side mount

dav105e

Couple more pics. Just got to do the wiring,
fit fuel tank, put exhaust on and hopefully
drive it.
