Have I done the right thing?

Don't KA's have crossflows fitted to them? You can buy these new can't you?

True, there are some newer cars fitted with OHV engines. I believe that they are only 1300 cc though, and not suited to RWD conversions as the block castings have some differences which prevent this so discounted them anyway.

If not, I bet its just Ford's way of using up all the exchange recon engines that they had returned in the 70's and 80's though

Think the last outing for the crossflow was in 1300 Ka's - there was an article in Practical Classics when the last of them rolled off the line - replaced by some new-fangled multivalve thing (and that's not the radio).

My brother in law has a 1700 crossflow in his, and it's lots of fun (Le Mans was epic, can't wait for next year).

Apparently Ford designed the Ka for a new 3 cyl engine that was under development, however it never went into production.  So they were left casting around for something to fit under the bonnet line - step forward the 1300 Crossflow.

IMHO the 1.25 ltr zetec would have been the ideal engine, but one must assume that it doesn't fit.
