zx6r bike carbs, make your own manifold or get Danst on here to make you one.
I'm running a NoDiz ecu for spark control, all you need is a ford coil pack
Dump everything else... sorted
hi
I got a 1990 Ford Sierra Estate 1.6 with a CVH engine and intend to change those complicated ancilaries to a more conventional/ancient stuff.
is it possible - without spend much money - remove the ancilaries, say, carburetor, intake manifold, exhaust manifold with those strange piping,
electronics, miles of tubes and strange boxes, and so on... to a more conventional mechanic? like those of a decade before?
resuming: keep the main motor body, put an used simple manual/automatic carburetor (no need to be very performant), put a hand made exhaust manyfold,
etc. does this will work? is it possible removing that mess of tubes and complicated mechanic and electronics without spending lots of money?
I appreciated if anyone who has some experience with that motor could tell me something usefull.
thank you very much

That is exactly what most of us do
You can fit a simple manual weber carb and manifold from an early Fiesta XR2 or Escort XR3
Most kit cars need an exhaust manifold made to fit but you could just modify the down pipe from Fiesta XR2 or Escort XR3

fit a 1.8 or 2.0 Pinto from another Sierra.
just about any engine can be stripped back to the bare minimum
a few things to consider for any engine are:
Fuel
carb's - what kind can you get that are the right size for your engine ?
what manifolds are avalible or can be made / modified ?
does the engine have a mechanical fuel pump you can use ?
sparks
does the engine have a dizzy or can one be fitted ?
if it was an EFI engine and has a dizzy - will the dizzy work without the ECU ?
if you can't fit a dizzy then a spark only ECU is easyly added instead
all you need after that is to wire up the starter motor and it will run...
you'll probably need to add a catch tank onto the engine breathers if they are no longer connected to the inlet manifold, but thats about it

carb - I intend to put one very cheap taken from another Ford (I don't know what)

Just fit the head complete with dizzy and carb from a Escort MK3 XR or Ghia or 1600 Orion job done.
If it is any type of Ford petrol engine of that era then it must have a coil. Either a traditional single coil with a single HT lead to a distributor cap or a twin coil pack with 4 HT leads straight to the spark plugs.
