quick question
does the duratec engine bolt straight to the type 9 bell housing or does an adapter plate need to be fitted?

I think it uses the mazda bolt pattern, so you need an adaptor plate.

Special Bellhousing is needed, its a different bolt pattern.

not a million miles away from the cost of my XE install if I worked up the courage to add it all up  , probably somewhere around the £350 mark if you
include the 3 sets of engine mounts and modded sump.

Or you can do what I did. You still need a bellhousing though.
Use a std flywheel from a 1.8 (theres a pic of the part number in the duratec build thread) - I think it might be from a 1.8 zetec rather than a
duratec. But check it out for yourself.
Then you need a friction plate from a 1.6 mondeo (same as used in rwd zetec conversions) and either the std mondeo pressure plate or you can use an
uprated one as fitted to the RS turbo/XR3i.
The only thing then is the set up height of the clutch will be a bit odd and you will need a spacer making to fit the clutch cylinder.

Thats not a standard zetec fly' as there are no timing holes on the back.
It does look like the cvh 1.8 fly' .
