Hi all,
Just aquired a Dutton Legerra project needing a rebuild so now i have something to puit my zetec in! Yay me!
There's no prop shaft with it though so i need to know if these use a standard ford item or i need to get one made up, i have a couple of full length shafts that i can get cut down if need be.
cheers.

First step is to join the club:

and then ask questions.

Best fit the engine (zetec) first then you can measure up the propshaft.

Dont make your own unless you can balance it properly, there cheap enough anyway.

unsure which engine to go with yet as i have 2 VERY diferent ones in the garage.
Option 1, 1.8 blacktop zetec
Option 2, Rover V8!!
To be honest the zetec is winning but there's just something about a V8 soundtrack that stirs the loins!

Really depends on what you want to do with the car and how much time and money you want to spend on the engine.

got bored of driving busses then scott v8 all the way.

Zetec will only just fit.. really not sure on a V8. Good luck with what ever you fit
