Never done one of the Black ones, but in theory it should be the same as the earlier Silver ones.

You will need a spigot bearing, I've the ford part number at home, and a Ointo Clutch I think, but again could find part numbers at home this evening. Clutch arm and releas bearing were Standard Sierra affairs/Westfirld parts, Guess what, I even have the part numbers for these at home.

My CVH starter motor was fine, as was the Westfield clutch cable.

Went in fine, and just bolted together.

What chasis is this going in Sam? If it is a type 9 chassis then you will also need a remote filter as the engine will be further forward than in the later mt75 chassis. If it is the later you also have to cut off the bulge for the starter, all but about 2 inch at the engine end. Then the engine and box will go right back in the chassis with no need for a gear stick extension. Robc could email you some photographs of his in place.

Thanks for the reply, i have actually seen Rob's car a few times so i hope he will give me a hand with cutting the bell housing. I am more worried about the bits that have to go inside the thing. I have found a section that helps on zetecinside.com but i was just seeing if anyone had any hands on knowledge.

Sam you have no hope of Rob helping as it was me who cut his for him. You must be near Bristol / Bath so no problem for you to bring it over and I will do it for you when you are ready. If you pm Rob he has all the part numbers for the clutch, IIRC it is a 1.8 mondeo with a release bearing from an 1.8 sierra cvh.

Sam, do you have broadband?

Yes but the two hours was to put it in once, find out westfield had not explained it to you right, take it back out cut the bellhousing and refit engine and box. This was all done with a hot waterbottle strapped to my back because of the slipped disc I have, so pretty good really but yes 10 mins max with the angle grinder now we know
