Wat mount can i use for this without paying out hundreds of pounds iv been searching all day but no luck. its been a few years now since the conversions have been on the scene so i thought someone might have found a cheap fix. if its only one mount then im sure i could make one up but its worth asking..

does anyone have the escort 1.8 bits for sale, sorry for the off topic but its too tempting. il get pics of the project later in the week when get some bits together

boostdude

hi i think you need to ask if anyone has had any experience putting maybe the 2.0 zetec or 1.8 into a ka im sure it will mount in its just what issues surround it i.e shafts g/box etc if i can help i will lol
oh i have a spare 1.6 zetec minus sump and pump etc.
have you bought the ka then mate

santos2001uk

its the sump and pump im after dude. im sure il be one helping you fetch the zetec block tom lol. it'll go in my favour when i need a welder

i spent at least ten hours over the weekend and have 4 sites bookmarked highlighting the problems and how to overcome them, as usual im finding the need to dedicate my life to another money burning build!!

and iv got 2 and a half hundred quid in paypal to pay for block and parts just need the cash for the ka.

forward planning mate its all the rage. catch ya friday

boostdude

mmm forward planning is key lol my block is home next to the kit car ... next step strip and re build i will look for more info on the ka im sure there are plenty of nice people on here that can help hint hint

I have a 2.0 ka. modified blakey CVH Ka mount. standard gearbox/starter. 1.8 sump + strainer and 1.8 flywheel.

boostdude

haha told ya ...could you please shed us some light on the conversion and how to go about it not had much to do with the ka and this is not a project weve attempted before

santos2001uk

nice one, like i said ten hours research and im confident but all help appreciated!! the engine mount is the last hurdle for me. iv seen one off the shelf for 250ish and its just too much. a modified cvh will be the way by the sounds of it

like ya say boostdude first one on a ka but weve had plenty of years in the game

and this project is resting on the state of the body work, i might end up breaking it and investing in something else. like a honda civic h22a

check this out for car. video included it makes me think vtec power

AaronsKa

my mount is pretty much the same as the Ł250 from TD!. try find yourself a second hand mount id say. ive had to use bonnet raisers and an angle grinder for it to go in! a small bit of the slam pannel needs removing. management is an Alpha turnkey kit because the ford loom i had was fecked beyond belief.

boostdude

thanks for the input keep looking santos its got to be easier and cheeper than the civic 2.2 surely
