Hi again,
I went out and checked the engine today I mentioned yesterday. Turns out its a V reg, done 75k, for £200+VAT. Still sounds good though, and they will remove it from the car for me so a question to any other Zetec engined members . . What do I need from the engine bay to come with this car? Im gonna attempt to use standard injection with Megasquirt for now, so anything other than start, alt, usual etc.???

Is it a 2.0?

If it is a 1.8 that sounds expensive. I just bought a Focus 1.8 with 62k on it for £60.

yeah its a 1999 2.0 Blacktop. I saw another one, 46000 on it for 550. 235 sounds pretty good to me.

all of the engine wiring loom, the coil pack and any sensors, the thermostat housing, flywheel fuel rail, injectors and all attachments.

Thats all I can think of at the moment

Plus ecu if youre planning on using the standard Ford setup along with the ignition barrel and key for the imobiliser. one thing to bear in mind is that it will need a Cat on it for the SVA with it being a post 95 engine. I bought an entire 93 Mondeo complete for £70 off ebay which gave me a good chance to test drive the engine to make sure all's well. The earlier Mondeos & Escorts dont have the chipped key so dont have imobiliser issues.

Got to agree with getting the pre 95 engine, the cars are peanuts.

I got two Fiesta XR2i 1.8 zetec engines for £27 with coil packs I didn't get any edis though, he'd binned them.
