Hi,
Currently running a Blacktop, but canīt stop thinking about putting a St170 in my seven.
I have understood St170 isnīt a proper Duratec, just a modified Zetec.
So, will my Raceline wet sump fit an a St170 engine?
Yes - it's exactly the same sump on a BlackTop as it is on an ST170.
I happen to have an ST170 crated up ready to sell if you want one too :-)
EDIT - your inlet and exhaust manifolds will also fit (as you noted, the ST is in fact a modded Zetec engine, not a Duratec at all) although I
think the ports might be a slightly different shape.
Personally, I went for a crate BlackTop instead (hence the one for sale) as I couldn't be hassled with the whole VVT thing and wanted a zero
miles motor, but if you get the VVT working well, or buy a delete kit, it should give you some decent gains over a std BT motor.

Will fit, I've just taken one from a silvertop and put on a st170. I'm attempting to run off original ecu as per Big Wasa's post,
current challenge is trying to fit the inlet in the chassis.

Looks like I have to make a decision next winter
