Was wondering if anyone has used a ST bottom end and a Blacktop head?
If so is it a straight forward swap? Or are there any modifications required? Or am I best to stay with the St complete engine with a VVT delete
kit(hoping to continue to use my current mega jolt and carb setup)
I too was going to do this as i had a blacktop head with piper 285's and i did find someone that had done it and they said it was a fair bit to
do to make it possible so i went down the delete route on the st170 engine .

why does the ST170 engine need the vvt removed. Is it for space saving or compatibility ?

Look at my thread for ST170 results with VCT delete kit
Been reading a mix of information.
I believe i have 2 options:
- Fit a ST170 engine with the delete kit (using my current carbs and megajolt)
- Can i not use standard Zetec pulleys(hole drilled out) instead of verniers?
- Fit ST170 engine, throttle bodies and a Emerald ECU (which i am told will control the VVT? Expensive option)
