The zetec sump may prove a problem acheiving 4wd

 

id go for mk motorsport set up on the rear and and paint it storm grey

may be worth a look! info about ford making some s2 4x4's

 

If you realy want the zetec turbo... then brake from the norm... dont use cossie gear.
- Look at grafting evo running gear on, big zetec turbo, would be a great car.

Either way, make no mistake, its alot of work to get it grafted right & neat.
Good luck.

 

i have spoken to ian howell about building me one of his 500+ engines but i would like to go 4x4 with it rather than fwd

 

would it be permanent 4wd or switchable????

 

Sounds like it would be a bit of an animal with 500+bhp.

Get it done.

 

I'd say use the evo box and rear end, djm used that on there ka with a cossie engine , would break from the norm , or even a Nissan pulsar box and back end but there not the strongest of gear boxes tbh

 

why break from the norm if the norm works perfectly fine

 

This is your 2nd ticking off of the week son

Why not be different? You were just as boring on the turbo thread

 

all depends on buget really ,

can see the only hurdle will be the sump ,


not sure if you could cut the mounting flange off a zetec sump and reweld it onto a a yb sump ,


anythings possible with a bit of lateral thinking

 

beefy i got my sump modded mate ..

 

Alot of work tbf, currently building a zetec turbo fwd, but looking at maps currently for the power issue of 400+ and lighting the wheels, but it's all about the driver lol haha
