how cheaply can you pick up a zetec engine?

I bought a 2.0 Blacktop last week end for £43.

Hows that

Its going in a sierra

I bought one for 99p off ebay.

It subsequently went into another Locostbuilders car and he passed SVA and used the engine for a year after that.

Paid £52 for a whole 1994 Escort with a 1.8 silvertop engine 105 bhp version with 40,000 miles on it. Car failed MOT on chassis rust - good engine though.

Now fitted 2.0 cams and makes good power to 7000rpm..

I bought a 130ps 1.8 for £40, then sold a couple of unneeded bits off it for £50-odd. So my engine owes me -£15

I've had 4 so far.
1. 1.8L £200, good engine, passed SVA with it
2. 2.0L 99p 0ff ebay, used the cams in the above.
3. 1.8L £10, passed on, going in an Indy now
4. 2.0L ST170, £450, current engien in my car.

1994 (silvertop) 1.8 for £26, it's still sat waiting to be fiddled with but I've picked up some 2.0 cams, injectors & a 2.0 maf, just need a 2.0 ecu and it'll be running to rs1800 spec (130bhp)... It all sounds so simple

Might end up running it off bike carbs with the 2.0 cams & megajolt if possible/easier to setup..

Picked up my 98 1.8 silvertop for £65 on ebay.

Got mine off Coozer for a tenner
