for an 1800...

you probably have some of this already..this was for a 'new' installation...

carbs ~?

inlet manifold~100

ignition management ~440

new clutch assy ~75

mt75 bearbox ~100

throttle linkage ~20

alternator mounting~100

clutch release bearing ~50

cooling pipes/water rail ~180

exhaust manifold/ box ~?

engine ~300

the list goes on...this was where my budget went to pot!

dont have an exact cost breakdown with me....can find if you need it

regards

Jon

In the event you have a narrow bodied car you can't use the mt75.  The Type 9 is cheaper and for upgrades has more available ratios.  In fact with a narrow body there are a few other issues.

for 2.0L you need an 1800 water pump (~ 30 )

Don't forget a lowline sump for longitudinal installation. ( ~ 200 )

If you're wondering where to get these bits, try Raceline (www.raceline.co.uk) or Dunnell (www.dunnell.co.uk). Both  of these companies sell kits of parts to convert a bare Zetec to run on either carbs or throttle body injection, in varying states of tune. Both are also very helpful and happy to give advice.
