You ask about price...
well my first motor was the 1.8l from an orion this was £50 on ebay..This seems to be the going rate or about £100 from a breakers guaranteed.....
This turned out to be buggered so I sold the bits on ebay(as faulty) for £55 and was still left with flywheel /sump/rocker box/ignition coil breather
and lots more
Ive just borght on friday my 2ltr from my local breakers that also surply Tiger..This was £200+vat...You will pay over double for the extra 200cc .On
paper the bhp does not look worth the extra, but it has lots more torque and this gives your acceleration...having owned mondeo's and
escort's/orion's the heavier mondeo will kill the escort of the lights every time and is well worth the extra cash..

Old thread but worth a read,i've been out of action in the garage for the last couple of months (knee problem) but the pinto was outed in
october and i have all the parts needed bar an air filter to fit the zetec.
I've used all the information from this thread to gather my parts so big thanks to everyone for there input.
Many many different variations on plumbing can be a tad confusing,but hey if it works it works.
Any more info and pics though can only be helpfull to others.

My car is not on the road so I do not know how well is my engine. However I used mondeo ecu: it is quite simply to have it work if you have
"electri schematic". If you not have it let me know I will scan and email.
Engine starts also without maf, lambda sensor, and other sensor. So you can get your engine running quit easy like I had.

If this is the ultimate guide then watch the crankshaft pickup.
If the engine was from an automatic the crankshaft pickup need to be changed to the manula one when you fit the manual flywheel. Part cost £5 from
FORD. need to be fitted before fitting fly wheel.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

I'm still baffled,you didnt re-read the posts far enough.
Its zetec and ignition for it,the pinto will get binned.
James is suggesting that you fabricate a plenum for your Zetec so you can retain the OEM Ford Zetec injection/ignition system just like Mark did to
his Pinto. Have your baffles now been removed?

Hello Mike
I did look at trying to use the original plenum as the 1.6/1.8 uses a slightly smaller one in bulk than the 2 litre,and it is possible to fit the 2
litre throttle body on the 1.8 plenum.
Still to big though so i looked at home made plenums,with most of them looking like a dogs dinner and some not working efficiently and ending up on
ebay i decided on bike carbs for now.

Cheers steve
I've gone the fireblade carbs route for now,Bogg Bros are making the manifold now so i should have it by the end of the month.
I've also some zx6 TB's which if they split i might have a go with maybe next year, although there is always something else for me to
spend my allowance on

I am getting along quite well with my conversion but though I should advise caution on the inlet side.
I have had to shorten my inlet manifold as there was not much gap between the rear TB and the brake Master Cylinder.
I will soon be sorting out the spaghetti wiring of the MegaSquirt.
Don't worry, I do intend on wrapping the other primaries but I ran out of wrapping.
