Hiya

what carb will fit the 2.0 sierra DOHC, curently got a weber 2v tld on it, but wondering if it's possible to change to an older / simpler weber?

cheers

Terry

are you wanting to keep the same manifold ?

yep, preferably same manifold. unless of course it's a simple swap to a different one. It's got the crappy engine management system too!

cheers

Terry

I'd guess the 32/36 DGAV is the sort of thing your after or one of the similar ones (the one from RS2000's / 3.0 essex V6's), it should be the right size but I can't tell you if it'll fit onto the manifold you've got without modifing it...

failing that bike carbs are an option (ZX6R / R6 or similar should do for a basic spec engine) but you'd need to make/buy a manifold



when you say engine managment, is that just the electronic dizzy & amp ?

a 38 DGAS or the equivallent manual choke version, cant remember the abreviation, from an essex ot cologne V6 is a popular upgrade, as both chokes operate simoutaneously rather than progressively.

I understand the later Pintos had a smaller footprint 'ford weber' carb, so a manifold from an early sierra capri or cortina 2.0L would be needed.

Ignore this lot, I misread DOHC.....

you wont find another carb manifold for a dohc. The carb model is rare, the head is differant to the efi dohc and is differant to any other ford.

that'd be about right!

back to plan B, put a decent motor in it!

can't even source a carb gasket kit at the moment....

thanks for the replies

cheers

Terry

have you got a budget ?

Fit a zetec, you wont regret it.

no budget, it's a rolling project, and I spend as little as I have to but unless I can get the bloody thing to run I can't MoT this year, so there won't be much rolling

open to suggestions, was going to go rover v8 (cos I've got a mate with a good one for sale), but it's not looking good to get it to fit, plus that means new box and prop too

so anything that will fit a MT75 box is favourite, was thinking maybe 2.8i capri / granada - if I can find one - couple of the guys in the club have this option so I know it will go in

so will any zetec 2.0 or 1.8 fit the MT75 box, or do I need a particular model?

I think the version of the engine only affects the choice of flywheel, starter and what sump mods are needed - but I'm not an expert on fitting zetecs (I've got a pinto + type9 for mine)

there are quite a few old threads on fitting zetecs, try a few searches

are you looking for an engine thats ready to drop in or would you consider one in need of a rebuild ?
(I know where there is a 2.0 silvertop thats done a few miles - comes with a free mondeo )

really need something that doesn't need work - engine rebuilds aren't the best idea outside I think

done a fair bit of reading up, my only concern is the possibility of having to chop the sump about to get the starter to fit....
