Managed to get hold of a low mileage 2 litre duratec for £375 off the good old bay of e. Just have to arrange a courier to pick it up once the bloke
calls me to tell me he has it out of the car and on a pallet.

is that the st170? If it is I'd be interested to see how you get on, thinking of doing the same next year.
Cheers

Nope, the ST170 is a zetec engine with VVT and variable intake geometry.
Zetec badged as duratec.
The fiesta ST150 engine is a duratec
David
Is that going in your GTS then?
Certainly is. Job for later in the year once all the shows are over and I have had time to collect all the parts.
Should be a bit lighter than the pinto and have a few more horses too. Intend to just whack some throttle bodies on the side which should see
190-200bhp. Which should be a laugh.
Need to get hold of a flywheel, clutch and bellhousing. Everything else I should be able to fabricate or mod myself....I hope!
David
Should be good mate. What other bits do you need to mate that to a box etc?
Type 9?

It will get a full strip and rebuild as usual before it goes anywhere near the car, its only done 50k miles so I am hoping it will just turn out to be
an inspection excercise rather than a rebuild.
I have a HD tye 9 which I have just finished rebuilding, which will take the power from the duratec.
The other stuff you need is bellhousing, flywheel, clutch and inlet manifold. Other mods are required to the sump, EGR ports and thermostat/waterails.
All of which I should be able to fabricate something for. 
Exhaust wise, apparently the pinto exhaust is an easy mod, with a new flange and a bit of a tweak, I am banking on this really!

Grrrr, they sent me a 1.8! Bugger. Apparently it came out of a car registered as a 2.0 and said 2.0 on the back. If so, that just about sums up my
luck at the moment!
Called them and apparently they have a 2 litre coming in on monday.... I'll call them again then!
shawspeed do all your bellhousings and stuff to fit it, they ran them in their cars
