Hi,
What engine is fitted to the later RS200?
Can it be made to fit the type 9 or Mt75 box?

I believe its the Zeta engine, not the Zetec. Different mounting configuration (Stood on mounts a la Pinto as opposed to cradled)

Rs200 (surely not)???

Rs2000??

Escort Mk5

Its the 'I4' engine 8v dohc (although someone correct me if im wrong but they seem to refer to the duratec as the I4 as well????)

Bolts straight upto type9 or mt75

150bhp

Do a search, info already been gone through etc etc


Cheers

G

some comfusion may come from I4 being used to mean inline 4 pot, hence most engines!

Same block as the I4 dohc engine, but with a one off 16v head. About 150 horses I think.

The weak point is the timing chain due to the hydraulic tensioner and irregular oil changes btw.
