Alternatively, give Dave Colledge at Retro Ford a shout, he makes all the bits you need, sump, water manifold, engine mounts etc etc.

www.retro-ford.co.uk

For details.

there are many different ways of doign it depending on budget, what you want to use the car for etc..

mine's going in on 45s with dunnel engine mounts and sump, raceline water rail and the bulkhead chopped back 3" ish, but you can do it however you want... motorbike throttle bodies seem to be popular (and cheap!) at the moment if you're a bti handy.

Its probably worth pointing out to those who dont know, there is no need to chop the bulkhead at all to get a Zetec into a MkII Escort.

So if you are thinking of doing this conversion dont be put off thinking you have to cut your car because you dont.

Its the same with an Anglia, there is only a very small bulkhead mod to get a zetec in the bay.
