Default Ka - zetec conversion questions

Hi,

I currently have a 1.3 ka converted for the track and am wanting more power so am upgrading to a 2.0 blacktop as I want to keep the engine near standard as 150/60bhp is more than enough in a bean can espically when I am used to only about 70bhp in it!

Just a few questions,

Need to source a 220mm flywheel with cps marks. I am after a lightened one however even if i can get hold of a standard one and then just take it to a machinist and have it lightened. My question is what car can I get such a flywheel from? I only know of the 1.8 zetec escort. I'm going to use an ap erst organic clutch matched to an IB5 gearbox.

silvertop 1.8 sump - How comes you have to use this?

Heater - I don't want to run a heater as to de-mist the screen I'll run an inline blower or get a heated front screen so I want to lose the heater take off. I brushed over a water rail conversion? Does anyone have any more info on this?

Inlet manifold - I don't want to run a turbo or throttlebodies for the minute but is there a better inlet manifold out there to run?

Alternator - need to source one but does it matter if it's from something like a 1.8 or 2.0 zetec? I won't be drawing massive amounts from the battery as it is only going to be used for power gauges, lights and the engine.

Thank you,

Richard
