Hey there people, another techie question from me - trying to decide on an engine choice for the Viva and am pretty sure it is going to go the way of the zetec black top.

However does anyone have any info on the compatability of the Duratec (st 170) lump to a MT75 box? Would a bellhousing be need to be made up - or are the stud/bolt patterns the same as on a Zetec.

Many thanks in advance peeps.

 

No ideas?

 

the st170 is a zetec with duratec writon on the top st150 is duratec and it is reversed inlet at front and i don't think it will fit

I'd imagine it would fit because as has been pointed out: the ST170 has a modified 2.0 Zetec engine with VVT and a 6 speed 'box, and the 2.0 Focus comes with an MTX75.

 

Only one way to find out now...

 

ive a 2.0 litre black top zetec which is fitted in a mk6 escort fitted with the 6 speed box and quiafe diff from the st170 so the st170 engine should fit the 2.0 black tops gear box. hope this helps mate

 

Yes thanks mate - as I know the black top mates to the sierra gearbox

Ta!
