But dont they have to be slightly modified, in some way or other? Something to do with oil ways or water pump? I cant remember.

it all depends how much of the conversion has been done??

has the oil ways been blocked?
has the oil return from turbo been done?
has the oil breather been fitted to rear of block?
has oil breath of front of block been blanked off?
has the water pump plate been fitted to take CVH water pump
Has the rob bolts been changed to ARP

also you say standard pistons, so they need either skimming or replacing with low comp forge jobbys.

so its had to put a price on it

Basically everything that you say has been done, it was in a running car and I may be buying it. The only thing im not sure about is the ARP bolts.

Just not sure what they are worth.

another thing to ask, has it had the oil jets fitted under the pistons.

But defo check if arp bolts are fitted, as the rod bolts are the weak point on the zetec bottom end. they need to be changed.

As for price, i recon between £100 to £150 for the block, if its been running in a car. If its a fresh build (ie not put in a car) then i recon you will look at more £200 to £400.
