MCB Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Still looking for parts for my conversion, any zetec parts considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Nothing to do with me, but just found this on ebay: Crate Fresh Zetec + Type 9 Its almost tempting as a spare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetstu Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 yes it has a clutch, no alternator as its electronic egnition, no starter, water pump is built in, gearbox has been rebuilt, the shaft has been turned to fit zetec engine. Since when does electronic ignition determine that an alternator isn't needed and why is a different sump needed for weber / TB's ? And why has the type 9 been machined to fit the engine? It fits anyway!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Agreed, its a poor listing, by someone who really doesn't know whats going on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Still looking for parts for my conversion, any zetec parts considered I have a standard low mileage 2ltr and a high spec 220bhp zetec silvertop for sale if you're interested? pm me or email me at mbaileywscc-ao@hotmail.co.uk if you're interested. I will be advertising the high spec engine on here probably tomorrow & it'll be on pistonheads aswell. I bought the standard engine for a mates mk2 escort but by the time I got it he'd already found another one, the heads are off both engines for inspection btw. Cheers, Mark.

MCB Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hi Mark, Thanks for the offer of the 2.0 zetec, ideally I would like a 1.8 silvertop zetec, thanks again Mark I'm still looking for complete 1.8 zetec silvertop if anyone is upgrading to a 2.0 zetec or duratec also does anyone have any parts for sale i.e cooling systems hoses (metal or rubber)etc Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregaldo Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi MCB, Ok let me explain Mark B has just contacted me as im very close to making a decision on his engine and in which case I would be replacing a 1.8 series 1 silvertop. Its running perfectly. Would this be of any use. Its running at 155bhp. When would you need it for?? This might help me to make my decision to buy his as would help massively to offset the cost.

GINGESEIW Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hi there, I'm converting to modified 2.0 Zetec so my factory 155bhp (130 cams) 1.8 is going to be available, quite possibly with inlet manifold, 40mm jenveys and suited injectors on it. It runs perfect, done 10k miles and serviced every year (1000 miles). Need to figure out price....Is this of any interest to you? Adrian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermit The Frog Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Mark, surely you going the wrong way man! Should be Zetec > Pinto conversion! Don’t do the down grade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
