Fitting a blacktop into a erst

Few questions

Black top heads are they the same between 1.8/2.0 as people advertise them as they are the same?

The black top mondeo/focus rs Inlet manifolds again are 1800 inlets the same as 2000 inlets

I'm running a st170 bottom end has anyone got any pictures of the idler pulley mod?

I have a converted silvertop engine mount will that fit the blacktop?

 

I thing the 1.8 and 2.0 heads are the same apart from the cams, the focus rs head has different cams and exhaust valves. And yes the 1.8/2.0l inlets are the same

 

I can chip in to say the silver top mount won't fit the black top engine. We took the mount off my mates silver top thinking it'd be a straight swap up there not.

On the idler pulley front there was a guy selling a conversion bracket on eBay along with a bracket to drop the alternator down for about Ł40 posted.

 

Some helpfull pictures and hints in here.

Could you link me I can't seem to find it

 

I think ebay is having some troubles at the minute, I've searched for loads of things that are coming up as none available.

 

Same as that just wanna start getting all the bits together

 

Rik I think Pete is selling his bits already to go get in contact with him.

 

I can't put a direct link up as I'm on my phone but this is the item number for the idler bracket & alternator drop bracket
321363321826
And this is the item number for the engine mount plate
321363321831

 

Who Pete jano? Lol

 

He had some nice pieces sourced by me to build a right nice engine. I have all the parts still but he sold his car and looking for a buyer on the engine parts. All still new not even been dummy built yet. I can pass your number onto him for you or vice versa. His on the site can't remember his username I think it's
CGI PETE or pete cgi

 

Am I right in thinking that it's only this mount that needs a rework and the other mounts line up with the ib5 box without too much issues?

 

Yeah apparently I'm starting the build tonight so I'll start a thread I'm no mechanic so we shall see

 

Will be good to see Rikki, I'm not far behind you

 

I've got a build thread on another site, has some pictures that might help, I will find link.

 

Thanks Stu would be great

 

Yes mate... a 1.3Ka box for example is a perfect choice if you fit a Hydraulic MC whilst your engine is out like Rikki is.

 

Hi Karlos, That's the plan, got the Ka box, Starter and the flywheel here, just need a clutch and injectors and I am good to go I think, Got the 4x4 T3 in the end
