Change the engine to a Zetec/RS Turbo would be the cheaper option rather than tuning a N/A CVH

One engine mount needs changing, you ll need a 1.8 litre zetec sump, oil pick up and dipstick to make it fit as well or just put in the 1.8 litre lump with the RS1800 cams and throttle body

Roosie has a 2L zetec going cheap, and it is a sweet engine, was pulled out to use himself but changed plans for ST170!!
