After fitting a 1.6 Zetec-S from Focus and blewing it up, I've made a 1.8 Zetec (105hp) transplant and installed 2.0 cams. I made a custom engine mount, which will surely be replaced the supplier for Mike's mount would reply my e-mail

The problem I had: I used a Fiesta Mk4 bell housing on Ka's IB5 for Zetec-S conversion (starter motor opposite side)... I swapped to an Escort bell housing for the new engine. Everything was going ok until my Clutch didn't fit. Tried some Ford clutches available in Turkey, but none had the room to fit. So I had to go for a thinner custom flywheel. Now I don't have the EDIS reading holes on the flywheel, had to switch to Carbs and Haltech IG5 ignition management. What combination do you guys use for Flywheel + Clutch + Gearbox? I really want to do an EFI setup since I'm not happy with a carburated daily drive. The car has been parked for over a year by now, I had to give up because I don't have time to spare for try and see labor anymore.

I'd really appreciate any help.

EDIT: I also had 2 more room problems. The power steering pulley pushed front headlamp forward, and alternator had absolutely no room, had to go with a Toyota alernator. I'm using the standard alternator mount from an Escort.
