Zetec 2.0 Blacktop Short Block/Engine/Motor/Crank NEW

Hi, looking for a BRAND NEW Zetec 2.0 Blacktop Short Block. All I'll be using is the bare block casting and possibly the crank if I can find one so just these parts on their own would be suitable also. Must be unused brand new items though!

Indeed! Forged motor for my Mk1 Focus RS, albeit with a 9:1 compression ratio

the words "turbo" and "zetec" always gets Warren's attention....

Any news yet on the budget turbo conversion Warren, my car is sitting in the garage just crying out for some winter upgrades

I would be interested in what power you was running on your old block ?
My project is the opposite to yours. I am using the focus rs ecu to boost the cheapest zetec engine I can find and see how far I can push it.

Half way through a house move Andy, did get a 3 port boost solenoid today.

Worth checking the local Ford dealership, short blocks with crank rods and pistons used to be available for about £400 if my memory serves me, although beginning to doubt myself after a massive boo boo last night...

Was running 435bhp with standard internals. Nothing wrong with it until it burst a coolant hose. No temp gauge in the RS and aftermarket water temp sensors are only good if there's water to measure.
