The owner of the local scrappy who owes me quite a few favours offered me a 2 litre Zetec engine for £80 is this a good price he says this is half the going price (he would wouldnt he)
Most stuff he's given me for nowt, it seems fair to me but I'm an engine numpty, what else will I need from the motor (going bike carbs and megajolt route).
Cheers,

Thats a good price. YOu wont need much as the standard stuff isnt much good in a 7 as it doesnt fit.

You really need a 1.8 flywheel and escort 1.8 water pump aswell

That is a very good price.

you can use the exhaust manifold I used the cast manifold and mocified the downpipe saved about £250 if you are looking at saving the pennies, also try to get him to chuck an alternator in from a 1.8cvh sierra or th 2l DOHC sierra

you mean starter from a 1.8cvh sierra or th 2l DOHC sierra

Also I believe you want a pre 95 version if you run it on carbs.
I am sure someone will confirm this.

how much would he want for a duratec (alloy block ) lighter .more powerful??

i was going to say, £150-£200, so aye, £80's a cracking price

The going rate on ebay at themo seems to be £80-120.

I paid £80 for a 2.0 Blacktop, which I thought was quite good.

Stu

My salvage place wanted £200 for a silvertop. I'd buy a couple for £80 each.. a 1.8 for the bits and 2.0 for the go

duratec is the newer but new cars crash and end up in the scrap yard as well!

Ford have been putting Duratecs in Mondeos since... 2002/3? Should be thousands in scrappys by now!

Duratec needs a special bellhousing to mate up to a Type 9 etc though.

Most of the stuff they carry is older so unless I'm lucky it looks like Zetec is the one, cant be arsed with gearbox mounting probs either.
