Remember you also need to fit a spigot bearing
The pinto has a rear bowl sump and the zetec a front one and 2 piece so will need replacing, you will also require a water rail and check pump rotation, then there is the problem of fuel delivery, exhaust and ignition ( sparks and alternator )
The reason I have taken so long is because I tried to do it cheap and found unless you are clever and able to fabricate ( I am not ) then its best to buy the parts designed to work from reputable companies but beware the price escalates fast
I've seen someone using a 1.8 Sierra sump and pick up with this engine and he had no fitting problems with the starter motor. would this be a good choice? Fuel, exhaust and ignition are sorted out 80%, but what about the water rail, what does that have to connect to and from?
