I think 300bhp will be plenty in a 1990 xr3i cab, so I need a st170 bottom end zetec black top head with st170 valve springs zetec wiring loom and a standalone ecu

No zetec loom needed, make your own for the management you buy.

Just read the guide many times as its a decent thread where many questions you may ever have, will prob have been answered already.

It costs a fair whack for everything you need if you are not already running a turbo already.
