Hi,

First of all, I know the zetec shares its basic block architecture with the CVH, I assume this doesnt tail back to the crossflow?

Ive heard the water rail causes issues in rwd fitment, is this only a space issue for bulkhead clearance? Anyone got a decent pic of the OE arrangement?

Whats the best (cheapest and strongest) flywheel and clutch arrangement for a zetec onto a type 9? Ive read about rs turbo clutches and standard fwd mondeo ones and allsorts but not found a clear answer? (only looking to handle standard power in an 800kg car.

Can the original ford ecu be maintained in a transplant? Any links to wiring guides? Is the immobiliser easy to get around?

What sump patterns are available, Ive heard reference to front and rear bowl sumps? If chassis/crossmember issues are ignored, which will be best in cornering?

Im talking here about a silvertop 2.0 unit.

Cheers

 

i wouldnt mind having a zetec in my saph with a nice turbo on it iv seen a lot of capris with this engine in and must be good if its in one of them

 

WTF.....

 

No one done a rwd conversion?

 

not in a saph.

i used a custom fly from ttv racing to take a 2wd cossie clutch and t5 gearbox, had a custom big wing sump made and used a water rail from retro ford.

click my sig for the build

 

Cheers Fudgey.

Which cars came with a rear bowl sump? (sump bowl at gearbox end)

Cheers

 

Retro ford sell everything from exhaust manifolds to water rails and engine mounts to convert a zetec to rwd,loads of already done it,there is a dedicated zetec conversion section on turbosport.co.uk everthing you need to now is there

 

i did get hold of a 1.8 cvh sunmp, but it didnt fit so had a custom big winged one made

as said, retro ford are the chaps to speak to
