dhutch Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Ive been considering a CVH-zetec swap for a while yet. - Its not happened yet, and its not a quick weekend job. However of the engine swaps it is about the easest. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetstu Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 as far as I know mine is an s type Zetec but I wouldn't swear to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobK Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Are the 1.8 Zetec mounts the same as the CVH? If i get it sorted before hand i think it'll be off the road for 2 weeks providing i have had a few lifts in and out to sort mounts and have sourced all other parts. The knowledge on here will aid me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashBangWallop Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Just to throw a spanner in the works - I cracked my left-hand engine mount (the one that has alternator bracket) for my CVH a few years ago and ordered a new one from the factory. It turned up and the invoice said 'left-hand zetec engine mount' or words to that effect. I phoned the factory and said they'd sent me the wrong mount. The reply was that the Zetec and CVH mounts were the same. If you're on about the actual mounting points... I've no idea. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetstu Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 The alternator on a Zetec is the opposite side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Engine i am looking at is a 2.0 Zetec S Blacktop out of a Mondeo 2000. Sadly research seems to show the Zetec S is either a smaller cc petrol engine or in 2.0 format a diesel !! Maybe the blokes got it wrong Bloke has it wrong! The 'blacktop' is from the Zetec E series. there is no Zetec S series but an SE which is also reffered to as the sigma engine in either 1600 or 1700cc. they are completely different.

Plenty of internet info on modding the mounts on tintop cvh to fit a zetec. Apparently 1 need some metal off one side and both need additional mounting holes drilling. Will get the engine and have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhutch Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I was always told 'one of the two engine mounts is the same'However i dont know which side, if thats blacktop, silvertop/dohc or what. I also cant confirm it. - That said, the bolt patern for the bellhousing is the same, and that is the main thing.You can make/modify and engine mount in an hour with a mig welder and some table leg.Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombanks Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Apparently 1 need some metal off one side and both need additional mounting holes drilling. Will get the engine and have a look. is it really worth the hasstle? cutting metal off here and there, drilling holes in the block etc? have you spoke to westfield about this as they will be able to answer the question on whats what and probably the easiert place to buy the right ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stantman Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Did a cvh to silvertop 2.0 zetec conversion a year or so ago. The exhaust side mount was the same while the other side was different. Not sure if this is the same for the black top. If you search the posts you will find lots of information on this type of conversion. Silver top required 45's, inlet manifold, exhaust manifold, 1.8 zetec fly wheel (optional) Omex ecu, ARP conrod bolts (recommended) Coolant plumbing, starter motor, shallow sump, new clutch and cam belt at the same time, clutch release bearing, alternator mount, gaskets, bolts, setting up at rolling road etc. Best part of £2000.00 all in including lump for £190 of the bay of e. Lots of these bits were second hand. Got about £400-£500 back for old carbs etc. You can run on 40's but they aren't ideal Thoroughly enjoyed it, you might do it in a couple of weekends with all the bits to hand, but took me a lazy 4 months over eth winter.

Phoenix Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 If it's any help and if you can PM me your email address, (as I'm only a boardroom user) I can send you photos of the mounts if you wish. Regards Simon Hey Simon, I'm trying to PM you as I think your local to me, don't know many WF owners around here but im sure that pic of your car is Skilly Beach in Newlyn. give me a PM or email lefty_kris@hotmail.com P.s sorry for thread hijacking!!

dombanks Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 stantmans list is pretty much right, although i used the cvh started motor on my silvertop zetec fine and one thing he missed which is only small so he's forgiven is a spiggot bearing which the zetec usually doesnt have. 2K is a good price if you can pick everything up second hand, my induction system (which is everything on the inlet side) was 2K alone.
