Hi all,

Ive had a XR3i for several months now and have decided that i want to put in a mondeo 2.0 blacktop lump.

I have recently purchased a 2.0 mondeo with 66k on the clock full history and a cambelt change last year 4k ago.

My XR3i is MFi so that apparently complicates things slightly it doesnt run and ecu like the EFi does so i have issues regarding fuel pumps etc.

Aquired so far.
Engine 66k
Loom from the same '99 Mondeo
Desk and Deep pre pats ECU - which is best or are they both the same
Haynes manual for:
Mondeo mk1
Mondeo mk2
Escort mk4
Escort mk5
Escort mk6
Focus mk1

I have also discovered an alternator adaptor bracket that will let the water pump run the other way and lower the alternator.

So questions i have are mainly wiring and exhaust.

I have seen that i can use a Focus ST170 exhaust manifold somewhere as this will leave enough clearance at the front not to foul anything.

Wiring wise from what i can understand by looking at the many diagrams in the haynes manuals is that i will run the mk2 mondeo zetec engine loom then either try and fit the fusebox or make my own up and splice in the wiring from the interior loom.

Any help appreciated. Photos below!

Cheers
Andy
