Sierra zetec
Hi all im new to the forum,just bought myself a j plate sierra 1.8 lx with 55,000 miles on it to use as a runaround until i get payed out on an mgzr that was writen off,i fancy putting a 2.0 zetec in it,im a mechanic by trade and done loads of engine conversions,just need to know what bits i need to collect to do the conversion as i want to drive it in work sat afternoon and out sun night done,any help with a parts list would be great cheers Stu

Zetec will fit the box thats in. You may need to use a 1.8 flywheel. 1.8 cvh sierra engine mounts almost fir the zetec, so they can be reused. Sump needs to be modded or use retro ford one. The 1.8 sierra cvh sump can be made to fit but its not great.
Also a water rail relocation kit is required.
The early none pats mondeo loom and ecu can be used to run it or use a EEC 2 from a Fiesta 1.4 mk3 this will run the spark for carbs.
Kverna, have you a link to your 3 door?

Cheers for the replies,i thought i could use box as most fords use same bolt pattern,i heard or read somthing about only having half clutch travel when used as rwd as the clutch fork pivots differently any thoughts on this,i can do a decent job of fabricating things so mounts and sump i can do just not sure about clutch,not too bad with wiring too,so its eyes peeled for early mondeo and get stuck in cheers stu

IIRC you'll need a bearing on the input shaft also, but contact retroford as they know what's what.
robrs2: Old sig I'm afraid, as the cars been sold. Now I have a mk1 fiesta with rwd conversion

Cheers guys got my shoping list starting to collect bits now,this is the plan;
2.0 silver top zetec
Modified CVH sump(can use origional starter then i think)
Modified oil pick up
Modified CVH engine mounts
New spigot bush
1.8 zetec flywheel and crank sensor
Hybrid clutch(not sure which but think rs turbo may do??)
Fabricated water rail
Ive found a company near me that does Bike carb conversions with programable ecu,3 wire hook up and your away,thats where most of the money will go.
Any comments on this Cheers Stu
