sorry, what has been done to the block?
what is the size of the current block in the car and what will be happening with it when the new engine is fitted??
i may be interested in it and any spare parts that you didnt use from the 2nd engine

My missus stole my digi cam, so I am round ehrs now and will take some pics later today 
Adam, the engine it is replacing is a 2.0 Focus motor (like for like almost), and wll quiet possibly be up for sale, I'll ask Josh, I know he has a 2.0 Mondeo engine for sale.
The block was bored to 0.5mm oversize, honed, faces machined, front breather removed and blocked, turbo oil return fitted and a breather port put in the back

Cams in and torqued down - note the Focus' massive external waterpump
Timing belt fitted and tensioned
Cam cover layed in place, it's about to go off to be powdercoated
Food for thought? Perhaps a future project using a Duratec ST170 head, with it's massive valves, massive ports and VVT?

Not 100% sure. I should have the ECU this weekend, need to spend a few hours with wiring.
The car can be delivered any time, Its a case of, I have exams at the mo, and need my own car MOTd, so that kinda takes semi priority....we shall see, hopefully it'll be at Ford Fair though (Not fully mapped/run in though)

EXCELLENT work here phil....did you manage to do some more research regarding the st170 head and fitting? as i remember when we last spoke you were a bit unsure about the ins and outs of it...

Not really too good of a engine to turbo mate, would stick with the standard 2ltr block tbh
