New winter Project
Collected my 2.0 Duratec today 
everything looks ok thus far......its has a black rocker cover as mentioned in another thread but the EGR valve isnt blocked off so unsure if its out
of a fiesta st or not, The guy I bought it off gave me the paper work for the breakers he bought it from and it states it is from a 2002 mondeo, i
have the reg too so could maybe look into it. Dont think it will really make much difference anyway.
Was able to lift the duratec out of the my car with pallet attached, really is much lighter than the pinto, Which is now for sale btw, including twin
40 Webers, shortened sump, alloy rocker cover and new starter. 
Also if anyone knows of a duratec to type 9 bellhousing going for good money let me know.
Ill try and keep a running record of how the install goes, wont be as comprehensive as Flakmonkey's, but ill do my best.
Btw the way Flakmonkey, Big-vee-twin,stuart_B and andylandaster3000.......Beware of a sudden influx of u2u's comin your way soon......Sorry in
advance 
Cheers
Patrick

thanks Stuart_B
I have thought about the mazda box, but from what I understand I would need a box from an 05-06 mazda so theyre no cheaper than the bellhousing
anyway.
They also look quite bulky compared to the type 9
Stuart_B I would like a copy yeah, Its still worth investigating should one come up cheap, Do you know what model name the mazda box is? ie, type 9,
mt75
cheers

Ive been looking into what parts I need to convert the duratec to rwd and after searching through the forum
from what I can gather, Ill need:
bellhousing
fiesta ST flywheel
Rs turbo Clutch ( is this the only one I can use)
Hydrolic clutch slave cylinder, either sab or mondeo v6 - would this one do?
MONDEO MK2 3 CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER 2.5 3.0 V6 DURATEC on eBay (end time 02-Dec-10 19:04:16 GMT)
a pinto friction plate was mentioned too?
Which starter motor will I need?
Thanks for the help
Patrick

the hydraulic clutch release depends on what adaptor you use to mount it off. The saab and ford ones are not the same. Which one doesn't really
matter, as long as your adaptor fits!
It bolts to the front of the gearbox, via the adaptor, btw
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

We found RWD motorsport to be the cheapest for the bellhousing. In the end we got the entire package from them, Bhousing, Fly, clutch, release arm etc
that way it was all guaranteed to work - which it did, brilliantly

The cheapest ive found is Rally Design at 168 plus vat, but for some reason they want about 150 for the hydraulic release bearing
Im looking to get a fiesta st flywheel and clutch as these pop up on ebay from time to time.
the RWD motorsport must have cost you a few bob, Im doing the project on a tight budget cant afford RWD for the whole set up.
I was actually goin to contact you anyway FASTdan as I like the look of your engine mounts and inlet manifolds, Ill also require the exhaust manifold
plate
Could you give me some prices for these?
Regards
Patrick
