It'll be a challenge to the wallet, but never impossible. Depends which route you choose to go first. Cvh rst would be the most straight forward IMO.

Well.....it'll be my 1st transplant so I'm going to have make it memorable
Carb'd zetec it is
Is the silver top 2L the best to use??

SBT83

Not so much best. I would go for a focus blacktop. But that's just my opinion. Do some research! Alot of research before you start spending. Get your plan, rough prices etc. add about a 3rd to the overall costs to cover little bits and bobs, then get stuck in!
Plan, plan, plan!!!!

Do the blacktops differ then between models like mondeo and focus?

SBT83

I think the only noticeable difference is the water pump goes the opposite way on the mondeo. So focus just for less hassle. IMO the blacktop is slightly more refined to the silver top. So that's the way I would go.

st220kyle

never knew that just assumed they would be the same,

I remember the messing about I had to do years ago when I did the conversion on my escort. I knew a bloke on EVO that helped me out with his knowledge oh and the mondy zetec needs the sump changing and the oil pick up changing to a 1.8 focus/escort/fiesta item so the exhaust runs the right side of the sump
