hi there all.

so i want to remove my 1.4cvh engine off my escort mk3 5door (engine sucks) but i don't know what engine to exchange, or what donor to get. what i want from the car is more power, so ive been thinking about st170, 1.8 zetec, 2.0 zetec but i dont know. i would have gone for the rs turbo but those are hard to find where i am at.

for now i just want to exchange the engine later on will be ading a turbo ect, unless any one know where i can get a complete turbo engine setup.

any ideas on what would be the easiest yet best option please.

thank guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of the above, I would say the 1.8 zetec would be the simplest, as from what ive read you need to use some of the parts from a 1.8 to fit the 2.0

lodewyk

so its best i get myself a 1.8 zetec donar?

blueovalman

I would of thought so, then if at a later date you decide to go 2.0 than you already have the parts to make it fit

lodewyk

ok thanks man, compare the zetec to the cvh does it require alot of mods to the mountings ect, and can i use the cvh gearbox as it come from a 1.6cvh?

blueovalman

If I remember rightly only one of the mounts needs modding and you can use the 1.6 gearbox but would need that confirming

Zetec's from a mondeo 1.8 or 2.0 will need the sump, oil pick up and multi grove belt wheel off a 1.8 Escort or fiesta as the sump bowl is net to the gear box on the mondeo.

Piss easy conversion thought, best off with a 2.0 Mondeo but get a complete car as it'll make it easier with the management and wiring etc

Don't need any 1.8 parts if you use a 2.0 blacktop.

lodewyk

the 2.0 blacktop where would i find that?

luke19790_3

Focus and mondeo will have them

lodewyk

can you maybe tell me what model of mondeo or focus would have it please?

lodewyk
