started buy jacking the car up



then paul realised the wheel was in the way



fitted the gear box





my mate cut the out let off a standard zetec water pump and welded the out let of a cvh one on



then paul had a go at welding his mount



and then the engine went in

i no longer have the email with the address on mate, im sure jay will pm you it when he reads this.

il put some more update pics on later, put carbon bumpers on to see what they look like (although not finished) and clarke came round and helped me drop the engine in .

had a engine mount from rs centre, welded it up to pick up 3rd bolt hole on a zetec but fouls oil filter (old one never) so had to scrao this one as wouldnt physically work. I then tried using a mk4 bracket with a mk3 mount, welded that up/modded and fitted but fouls body work of a mk3 so i need an engine mount

depends what kind os spec you want to go tbh mate? heads flow limits are around 300bhp before porting is needed i believe.
  • pistons and rods which route you go? (steel for over 270bhp in my opinion)
  • engine i can get a 2.0 for you £80
  • valve springs about £120
  • oil pump etc
  • oil returns etc £2 each
  • boring out £80
all depends on your limits jay, give me a call if want a better idea, i think mine owes me 3k or so if that helps but thats new everything , that was with manifolds too though i think
