FS: 1.8 Zetec

coozer - 17/12/08 at 08:42 PM

Here goes... I hate selling anything but.... This was my starter engine, a 1994 SVA friendly 1.8 zetec. Chosen for that very reason.
2.0 cams.
Raceline water rail
Blue water pump reducer
New cam belt kit inc (not fitted)
Age related letter from Ford
Coil pack, nearly new plugs oil + filter.
120bhp at the wheels on Boggs rolling road with ZX9 carbs.

Good clean tidy example.

Ł220 no offers. Steve

Coozer are the carbs included? Does the engine need an adaptor/new bellhousing to fit to a type 9 box? What else do I need to get the engine running?

Sorry guys, the inlet manifold and carbs have moved onto the ST170 engine I've replaced it with. However I will be making a new manifold as it doesnt quite line up with the St head.

The engine bolts straight up to a type 9 bellhousing and using a 1.8 Mondeo clutch with a Capri release bearing works fine. DOHC or CVH starter bolts straight on without any mods.

Have a look through my blog for pictures of the installation into my MNR. Very straight forward for a 1.8.

I'll be including the alternator bracket I made as well if its any use.

Don't forget a Raceline water rail is over 200 on its own.

In order to get it to run an EDIS with wiring will get it running, then either a Megajolt or EEC-1V ecu, or some other expensive ECU.

Cheers,
Steve

When I got it I was told it had done 72K. I've put another 800 miles on it since SVA.

It is in very good condition for its age and suggested mileage but I have nothing to confirm that. All I can say is it runs real well, doesn't smoke any and is clean as a whistle inside. It doesn't look like a high milage engine.

Coozer, do you have any more pics please. Will you offer the ZX carbs manifold with the engine please?

Thanks
