what is the smallest engine i could fit into a 94 L reg escort van? i know to do this its loom, tank, fuel lines etc so what sorta cost would that be also?
thanks

 

1 litre from a fiesta?!

 

go for the 950cc

 

pedal power would be faster!
id never move it with my tools aswell

whats the smallest cvh they built?
or
whats the smallest zetec they built?
thanks

 

1.6 zetec or 1.3cvh

 

get a 1.25 litre ZETEC !!!

they fly and revv lots...

developed by yamaha !

 

ok time to post sensibly in this thread lol... its a van ull be using as a work dog right... probly meaning many miles fully loaded... so y not put a 1.8td in it? whats in it at the moment?

 

1.25 all the way

 

it'll be used as a work van with a few tools for my apprentaship (spelling??) and a daily run around aswell so i wont need a car (and i dont want one!!!)
i cant run a 1.8td because im 16, nearly 17 and i wont ever get insured on it, but i still want the ford van, and this one has been given to me to invest in (if thats what you call it with a ford )
do they do a 1.4 diesel?

o and it has a 1.8 diesel in it at the moment.

 

no

1.4 diesel would be shit with no power...

get a petrol engine, small one obviously

 

thats why iv been asking, how much would i get a 1.3cvh or the 1.25 zetec for and the loom? would they mount to my diesel gear box?
and anyone got any of the parts i need as i need to get prices together to see if its worth the money or not, probly not but i like it

 

search ebay, and try to get the 1.25 zetec, would imagine its a more efficient and more reliable engine...

search classifieds and google search for 1.25 zetec for sale etc etc

 

for the cost of the engine and fitting... v the cost of insurance and cheeper fuel... leave it as a 1.8d mate. once u have another engine put in it the insurance co will hike yr premium up

 

good point

 

why will it put the premium up?

and i wont pay for it to be fitted as i have mecanic friends and faimily, and im hands on aswell.

 

because it is not as ford made it, so its been made non standerd, and insurance companys don't like non standed cars.
just leave it as it is.
