That's just my view and opinion, I'd rather just purchase a st170 rather then have the hastle of trying to mould a zetec into a st170, and also 170s are a lot more rare than zetecs

Also (could be wrong here) I thought I read the have 195 nm torque
i have to disagree for a good st170 your look at around 3.5k (2k for a high mileage one) where you can pick up a good 2.0 for less than 1k, st is only lower than the zetec thay both have sports suspension. as for the extras it would only cost £600 for everything and insurance wise it doesnt cost much extra due to you only using diffrent ford parts from the same car not using aftermarket.

ill think you'll find theres alot rarer zetec models the zetec esp the zetec one30 the zetec one50 the zetec Tone90 the zetec t-two30 and the zetec t-two30r, only the std zetec is coman...

195nm is 146lb/ft.
