Further to charlie_zetec's post regarding engine choice if I went used Zetec it looks like Specialised Engines could do a rebuild/remanufactured
service for £1100 or Stage 1 for £1500 - so I could get an as new Stage 1 engine for less than £2k depending on how much I spent on the donor
engine.
Throw on a set of DanST ITB's & should have a 180 bhp engine for £3.5k.....
There's also a local company who will do the same with the Mazda engine for similar price.....
Too many decisions!
But MK are looking the favourite as their complete kits appear to be better VFM.
zetec i think it is one of the lower engine choices if your spending that kind of money go 2.5 duratec paul gardner race engines he usually has
some in stock i think they are about £850 used, he will give you some advice 01524 791507

Or buy a 1.6 ecoboost and have 180bhp out of the box for 1500 quid.

Lots in salvage places, ebay etc. Used though not brand new. There were some crate engines kicking around for around 2k a while back. The likes of
powertorque or Hendy will be able to quote for a new one.
