Hey guys new to me today when it arrives, im getting a 1986 mk3 ford escort 4 door , it used to have the 1.3 cvh engine and currently has the 1.6 cvh , i would eventually like to fit a zetec but i can't find many guides on this here are a few pics

 

Silvertop 1.8 drops straight in. Or go (silvertop) 2.0, but switch out with the 1.8 sump, pickup pipe and flywheel. CPS holder make sure its from a Manual car (important with the 2.0 as alot were autos).
Then just a bit of wiring.

Blacktop is a bit more faff, but they are far more readily available and therefore cheaper these days

 

As above

Only issue is the wiring if your running Efi, handy enough if your going carbs

Google it, loads of guides available

 

Nice to see a mk3 escort being looked after. Can't be many left on the road these days.
