Let it roll around on 4x4 setup and put whatever engine/box you want, then weigh it and choose spring rates but if you put a zetec in it why bother it will never be 4x4 because of the sump.
I've seen your posts before mate you choose the most agro way about things! Putting a zetec in will cost you thousands in custom stuff ie inlet/exhaust just look at fudgy. A Cossie engine/box/cooler etc will cost you less fitup will be bolt on easy and is 380bhp with a few bits and then it might be worth something

i was thinking i want it to be able to convert to 4x4 if i ever got a yb or sold the shell as a roller...
and so what if i do things a little differently theres more than one way to do things.. i started this project so i could learn abit about cars and build my own car how i want it.. yes its taken some time and ive had other cars in between so my plan has changed from the original design but thats irrelevant.
and as for being worth something thats your opinion.. im not building it to sell im building it to enjoy so i couldnt care about cost.
