What's the going rate for a 1.7 Puma lump these days?
#5
ebay is full of them for 400 quid, but i recently did a bit of ringing round and could get one for as little as £200 and see it running in the car before buying.
Would rather that than chance ebay lol!

i got one other week off ebay for £150 with box loom ecu etc...
i have seen them for over £700 for engine only tho
not a well built engine imo tho ive had to rebuild a few over the years you cant even use a stone cutter on the bores as the rings are that flimsy they cant bed into a roughened surface!

its only through the likes of shawspeed and owen developments etc that rebuild parts have been sourced through their own extensive research as well as modification of super 1600 rebuild parts to get enough bits to rebuild the engines.
of course not forgetting the 1.7's have a nikasil lining of the bore so any bore honing or cutting will destroy that.

Thats because they are NOT designed to be rebuilt. The 1.7 zetec SE is specifically designed as a throw away engine. Ford did not offer you rebuild parts for a bottom end, only a complete short bottom end.

cant hone the 1.6 black top zetecs either but ive just finished rebuilding one of those today i borrowed a tool for the bores from my machine shop it looks like a bogbrush albeit an abrasive one lol

You could probably pick up a 2.0 silver or.blacktop lump for cheaper and would go better there is really not much difference in the two the money you spend on buying the engine few.tweak to the zetec you be same or more also, I would.not advise getting one from fiesta already because some people forget and use standard boxes and not puma ones which is a main reason why there better because they have much better acceleration. Due to the ratios. Personally I would go 2.0 blacktop. And a rs turbo LSD box.
