1.8 Zetec Silvertop Engine


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

     My engine looks like it's breathed it's last breath.

Does anyone have a 1.8 Zetec Silvertop available to sell? I thought I'd ask here before I face the potential shark pool of the internet.

I'm caught between a rock and hard place at the moment in terms of money and time, I don't want to sell it as a project as is but I don't have to money to throw at it to get the engine rebuilt.

I have thought about a conversion to a black top but again that will take extra money and time. 

My thinking is a straight replacement is the simplest and cheapest option. 

If only crate engines were still about for peanuts! 

If you can help a fellow Westie owner out that would be amazing. I don't want my Westfield ownership to end just yet. 

Thanks in advance

There is a brand new 2 litre silvertop for sale on ebay, not cheap though

Plenty of 1.8 blacktops about for cheap money, you could re-use most of the bits from your silvertop. The only things you would definately need are a new O/S engine mount and a windage tray (assuming you have a raceline sump already). Having done this swap myself I can help with all the details of the swap should you decide to go this way

Plus the kit to mount the windage tray, a new alternator mounting (or mod as I did), new belt and idler pulley. 
 

But as Nick says, all doable. 👍
