MK1 Orion CVH to ZVH... wiring?
Hi kids,
I've got a MK1 Orion 1.6i Ghia, usual CVH motor. Unfortunately it spat the head gasket out this morning on the A1 lol.
I've been offered a 1.8 ZVH Turbo for it, the engine was in a MK4 Escort cabriolet last year, and has been tucked away since.
Zetec bottom end, CVH Head (MFi), turbo etc...
However, there is no wiring loom with it, just engine, turbo and a few bit and bobs.
What would be involved in wiring the ZVH in?
Also do i use the standard fuel metering head.
Any info greatly appreciated, i need her back on the road and this is gonna be it's chrimbo pressie, a new heart lol

OK just been to have a look at whats for sale, basically full engine built up with turbo, intercooler and k-jet metering head.
I asked about wiring and the guy selling says I will need a complete rst loom and the ecu as mine is quite a bit different in the orion.
Also there is no distributor with the engine... are these expensive, would my 1.6i dizzy be the same?
I can get the lot for £150.
Could anybody shed any light as to how much work is invloved?
Thanks
