Silvertop to Blacktop
What is involved in a swap from silvertop 2.0l Zetec to blacktop 2.0l zetec?
Will everything from the silvertop bolt directly to the blacktop e.g. exhaust manifold, inlet manifold, engine mounts and clutch/flywheel. I also have
a westfield shallow sump and pickup, will this also fit the blacktop?

The engine mounts are different. The manifolds etc fit a blacktop but i dont think the sump does as its a 2 piece one.

Think that's a bit pessimistic. My raceline sump swops OK, along with all sensors, coil, manifolds, flywheel and clutch. I used the same engine
mounts with a bit of grinding but both fit to the mid engine position like on a pinto. The alternator bracket did need mods as the bolt holes are
slightly different in the block (front right position) and I added an idler to the alternator/pump belt run. All fairly easy to do.
Blacktop's a better engine IMO but apart from the external appearance of the engine is almost a different engine with few if any internal bits
that would interchange.
