Hello guys, i own a p100 in cyprus it a 1,8td,
the whether is hot and overheated i crack 3 cylinder head of my engine, and i dont find parts in cyprus, my thoughts are tha put a more common engine for parts and not overheat, any ideas?

1.8 or 2 litre sierra pinto very easy to fit

socrates

yes but the issue is that is hard to find in cyprus

mk2grp1

pinto also fitted into ford transit,
escort / mondeo /focus 1.8 zetec
+ mondeo and focus use 2litre zetec,
they are fuel injection units so many wires are needed,
but you can convert to carbs

mk2grp1

ford dohc L4 engine approx. year 1990

socrates

a ford transit connect will fit easy?

mk2grp1

not as easy as the engines I mentioned , but certainly possible

socrates

what is the cheepest and easyest engine to swap?

mk2grp1

pinto requires very little electric wiring, , engine mounts will be simple to find
and they were carb engines so inlet manifolds with carbs will be cheapest
L4 engine and zetec require more parts , but very good units
the commonest ford engine in the scrapyard is possibly the cheapest
