Default Zetec into Mk2 XR2 .Easy enough??????
I fancy building a cheap fun car and have always fancied the idea of having a cheap old XR2 and putting a 2 litre zetec into it. Can it be done easily and more importantly,cheaply? I,ve got a nice pair of 40s sat in the garage that i fancy using on it too. They came of a Vauxhall XE so i,m hoping they should run quite well without too much fiddling . Whats the chances of doing this for about a grand including the XR2 then??
Cheers Gaz

I bet an XR2 with a 2 litre zetec on carbs is a good laugh!

The question is, can you keep the power steering somehow
