Duratec conversion - parts list confirmation
Just a quick check of parts required to convert Pinto to Duratec and likely source:
Engine Mounts (Fisher Fury as it is the same chassis as the Stylus)
Engine (ebay)
Exhaust manifold (FastDan for flange then DIY the Pinto one or treat myself to a stainless one)
Inlet manifold (FastDan)
bell housing (Titan or RWD; I want the cable version to save effort)
flywheel (RWD; so I can use 8 1/2 uprated clutch I already have)
Alternator (Honda)
ARP Bolts (Burton)
Aux tensioner (ford focus & ebay or breakers yard)
I'm after recommendations for the following:
Sump (anything other than Dunnells at £300!. don't have resource to DIY though)
TB's (would like to go up to 51mm, any recommendations, currently have GSXR 1000)
Alternator mounts (supplier needed, any recommendations?)
Oil filter relocation (Any recommendations before I shell out and buy Dunnells at aprox £100!. is it needed? is there a DIY option?)
HD clutch I already have along with engine management.
Have I missed anything?
Thanks
Alex

Try Strontium Dog off of this forum for the Sump.
I know he was going to try and alter a Duratec Sump.

Can't get it to fit existing transmission tunnel which is only 7 inch wide and it looks to be about 10 needed; I'd love to use the engine
but additional changes to chassis make it very hard to justify.

i suppose it all depends how far back in the chassis you put it! if you can stick it an inch or two forward and still have a good gear lever position
it could be ok. might alter weight distribution slightly but wouldnt imaging a dramatic effect. i can measure mine up for you tomorrow if you like?

FastDan will do the engine mounts too if you need them.
Raceline do a Filter Housing which is slightly cheaper than Dunell.
I have used a Dunell Sump, you can get a cheaper steel on from 3GE components at £275 I think.
You will need a fuel rail £70 from AT.
Alternator mounting Kit from Burton if you feeling Rich, I just made up some brackets to suit my tiny Denso unit.
HD Pinto Friction plate from AP Racing via Burton
Uprated Clutch plate from an Escort RS Turbo I have used, need to trim the fingers in length possibly.

I'd be really interested to know from the point of 6.5 inches width of the gearbox the exact measurement to the front of the engine, according
to the drawing it would be 36 inches which puts it too far forward for the bonnet line and weight distribution.

Flak monkey does a steel sump as a flat pack(£125) or made up and testsed at £250.
Personally I'd buy the sump flat pack (125) a small stick welder (75) and some bits of steel, drills and taps and then make a steel sump, inlet
manifold (18 inches of 80*8 mild steel (5)+ a length of exhast pipe the size you want you inlets (mine was £5 fro a 2m length of 45mmod/42 id)), the
engine mount brackets, and alternator mount (I made mine from 150mm of 40mm*40*5 angle, a bit of 6mm flat, and 150mm of M10 stud. You'll
probably need 8/10mmm clearance and tapping drills and taps).
Regards
Hugh

Engine length rear of block to front pulley 19 inches.
Length from rear of Titan Bell to Front Pulley 26 inches
Length from rear of lidded section of gearbox to front pulley is 36 inches
Engine is quite high can measure that for you too if you need, luckily the panther has been designed with a high bonnet line so enginge sits about
10-15mm lower than this.

Which exhaust manifold are you considering (£200 ??) ? I was going to adapt my "over the rail" Pinto one, but think I would prefer a
"through the side panel" type.

51mm!? Isn't that just enormous and going to give poor performance on small throttle openings?

For the GSXR1000 TBs and the inlet flange you have from FastDan have you considered the following sort of setup? Been running well with this setup for
a month or two on my Tiger (photos are a while ago and mid modification):
 
Duratec flange + GSXR1000s
 
Duratec inlet adapter plate installed

Are the inlets you are using from a GSXR1000 or 750 ? I tried a set of 600 inlet mounts, but they were too small for my 1000 ITB's.

Hi - the inlet rubbers came from a GSXR1000 however IIRC the GSXR750 uses the same TBs/inlet rubbers. The GSXR600 inlet rubbers are definitely
smaller.

Looks good but easy to blow budget.
Isn't the Focus alternator a 'smart charge' type on the Duratec e.g. ECU controlled - or have you got info on how to override? The
Duratec I've fitted came from a Mondeo which had one of these 'smart charge' alternators.

Having been there done that, I think your alternator may be too big, I originally used a unit from a Micra which fouled a chassis member.
I now have a tiny Denso alternator fitted.
Here's a pic so you can compare

News to me... bugger.
Pretty sure I can sort it though, if not I'll swap it out, the best bit is that I now have mounts on the right side of the engine.
Edit: after a quick bit a research removing the three pin "smart charge" plug reverts it to a standard alternator.

Some progress
New bits:
 
RWD Bellhousing
 
RWD Bellhousing
 
Raceline sump
Sump kit takes a fair bit of time to put together, in doing it I split an "O" ring by pushing the oil pick up pipe too far in causing it
to expand with no way of pulling it back out without it taking a chunk out of it. After spending 2 hours trying to make a 3 x 20mm fit (couldn't
get a 2.6 x 20mm anywhere) it turns out I was missing the piece of plastic that fills the gap above the pick up pipe, so will have to wait till next
weekend to get any further with the sump 
Did get the flywheel done though, taking the old one off was a piece of wee once I'd sussed a way to lock the ring gear:
 
flywheel swap
Comparison between new and old is substantial, I didn't weight the old one but it's 2-3 times times the weight of the new one at 3.1kg:
 
flywheel swap comparison
 
flywheel swap comparison 2

Good news on the alternator. Must admit I gave up on mine pretty quicky due to size/mounting position - managed to reuse the alternator from my Pinto
so not wiring changes!
New parts look good and very familiar.
Got to say the Raceline sump is top quality, on my second one. Shame about the O ring - it's a tight fit on the oil pick up pipe.
The cable clutch bellhousing from RWD is good quality too and it makes for a quicker/simpler conversion from Pinto. Is the flywheel from RWD as well
e.g. with the mounting holes PCD for a Pinto clutch cover?
