Anyone know the bellhousing pattern on the little 1.25 zetec?

Will a type 9 bolt up to this engine?

Ta,
Steve

Cracking little engine... I run one in my Mojo - see my website for more info : Link

The 1.25 puts out 70-75bhp which is not huge, but it revs really easily and is nice and light so performance can still be quite rewarding! Here's a dyno report for the 1.25 : link

Just what I was thinking Ed, looks cracking install there. Are you using the Ford management or something else?

I used to have that engine in my fiesta. Cracking little motor

I'm running the standard Ford EEC-V ECU at the moment, but I've just bought a 1600 SE lump and now I'm wondering about an ECU upgrade. Omex, Emerald, Megasquirt - hmmm....

I've started off with the 1.25 because it was in my donor car so I reused as much as possible to keep costs down and get me on the road as soon as possible. Now I'm a bit more used to rear wheel drive I've decided that a bit more power wouldn't go amiss. Also, this engine has done just over 100K miles and I'm not sure how much longer it'll last when I start doing some trackdays. They're pretty bulletproof really and it runs as smooth as a nut but I need a winter project!

I'm just about to start building a mates car which has the 1.6 Zetec SE engine in it, he already has the Emerald ECU.

Not using any Ford bellhousing, but aftermarket bellhousings are available to mate Type 9s to the Zetec SE engines.
