2. What gearbox? Standard fiesta box? Am I right in thinking most ford boxes marry up to most zetec blocks?
3. Widetracking front end... Is there a combination of box, shafts, arms I can use or are hubcentric spacers my only option?
Need to do this on a tight budget. I want to go about 4" wider each side - body work and tools/labour etc not a problem as I work at a garage.
Thanks in advance!
I would suggest you to go for silver top Escort 1.8 Zetec because it fits easily on the front wheel drive but don't have enough knowledge about Zetec engines. If anyone knows the best combination of these three please share.
