after blowing my 1.8 zetec, am looking out for a replacement with upgrade to either a 2.0 or the st170 engine - thanks

i'm no expert, but having been a ford fan for years i would consider; the price tag of an st170 engine, the ability of an after market ecu to use the dual stage intake, the fact that an 2.0 zetec can be tuned to 200bhp and still be tractable. whether the path less troden is less troden for a reason.

how did u blow up ur 1.8?

I've got a 1.8 blacktop, complete, if it's any good to you?
