It is quite snug but goes in fine. The only real challenging part of fitting it was the sump had to be chopped for ground clearance and the exhaust
manifolds were a bit tricky too.
These are probably the best pics I have of how the engine sits-

I dont know if you have made a decision on the engine as yet and are working to a budget, but I have a complete 1800cc Zetec engine in the garage
along with brand new clutch and fly wheel, alternator, ali pullys...
There is also a complete 4-1 exhaust system for a Duratec.
2 sets of Hi Spec Brake Calipers which are for the front with a Sierra, one set are silver and the other is black. The black set will come with Ferodo
DS 2500 pads.
There is a full set front and rear EBC Yellow Pads for Hi Spec Calipers as well.
Other items are a set of Pro Tech Shocks with springs off a Tiger which are about 18 months old and used only for 2 track days and 4 race meetings, I
will measure the length if interested.
3 ea 4" dia Head Lights standard tiger rear lights.
2 sets of 13" x 7" Pro Race 1.2 in gloss black, ford 108 ET 24
1 set of Caterham 8 spoke KN wheels in a gloss Anthracite finish - Front wheels are 13"x 6" Rear wheels 13"x 8" all Ford 108
PCD to be confirmed if interested.
There is also 2 sets of Yokohama A048's the soft set are still good for a couple of track days while the Mediums have about 4 mm tread left,
plus a set of slick tyres if you fancy something for a track day.
There are many other items in the garage which are all left over from the various cars I have owned and upgraded at different times.
Contact me if anything takes your interest.

What size discs are the calipers for? And what length are the shocks?

Hi Nick P,
I have to go over to Siltech Racing tomorrow and measure the disc's and shocks for you....
I forgot to mention in the list that there is also a set of EBC disc's for the front and rear of car as I have changed to a non ventilated disc
on the front to try and save another few grams and the rears have been changed to give a deeper bell as I am now running split rim wheels to give the
offset I needed.
This is the web link for the EBC Disc's: http://www.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk/ebc-turbo-groove_c2918_23812923_192_307_34241.htm

Well the decisions made. What's the asking price for the duratec 4-1 exhaust and possibly the shocks.
