Cheap Zetec conversion?
This months "Custom Car" magazine carries a feature on a rather nice Ford anglia rod, which runs quite an interesting engine.
It's a Ford Zetec running on a pair of landrover 2.2 webbers with anti deiseling valves(?) on a homemade manifold and a custom made distributor
drive to a orion CVH distributor, belt driven from the exhaust cam.
The article doesn't give any more details, anyone know more?
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Hi Chris
I've not seen this type of conversion before, but i have seen a zetec runing webers and using the ign mod off a 1.8 cvh out af a Sierra.
Apparently the 1.8 uses the same flywheel pick up as the Zetec

The dizzy idea is very similar to how Vauxhall ran the dizzy on the Manta 1.8's..... 
Dont just build it.....make it!

No the Sierra runs its pick up off the front crankshaft pulley, but you are nearly right, I have posted details before of how to build a crank
triggered ignition system using an early Fiesta HCS system combined with a modified Sierra pulley adapted to whatever engine you wish. Ignition map is
a compromise but I defy you to tell on the road! All for about 20 quid.
The pics of the Landrover show some nice engineering but I doubt the performance ability of the carbs (at least compared to others that are cheaply
avaialble)
