Don't know about the people, but isn't that a Zetec mounted lengthways in the middle of the car?
The new MK?
Interesting way to mount the engine, surprised it's not transverse using the normal gearbox.

Blind but cunning - like a fox but more violent!
I might be wrong but the Zetec has a distinctive sort of heart shaped plastic cover over the cam belts.

Dear Me.....
1. Mr Keenan
2. Me
3. The new MK
Zetec - yes
There should be no post along the lines of
"will I fit in the new MK?"
If Martin and I fit in it anybody will fit.
Cheers

The engine might be in the right way round, but I wouldn't like to change the cam belt!
I love the transparent driveshafts - what is their power limit?

Yes, my thought too....I guess there are good reasons behind doing it that way....maybe it is easier to accomodate bike engines that way?....longer
engine bay etc.....

easier weight distribution across the vehicle...crank inline with vehicle gives better NVH...V8's fit in...basically sexier
I'm not completely blinkered though. Pain in the bum to source parts without a fat wallet.

With any luck there's enough room that you can fit a lot of FWD engines in there if need be (Presumably that's the point of the car
re-design???).
Opens up a whole new world of donor possibilities what with cheap RWD stuff beginning to get a little thinner on the ground.

Not sure NVH is a big issue in this kind of car.......and sexier is debateable (I'm thinking Lancia Stratos and Lambo Muira)...though your
points are valid, especially part sourcing...

Trust me, you will have more of a problem sourcing that trans axle than a sierra gearbox and diff!!!
Does look very cool though.

if its the transaxel off a formular ford zetec then yes it will be more difficult than going down to the scrappy an having bits off a sierra but not
that difficult to find on the net, theres loads of em about.

I like the 3"x 2" gearbox mount, have we got to have 'O' level woodwork to build this one Chris?. I don't like the idea
of getting splinters during the engine installation.
yours, Pete.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
