normal asking price wireloom and flywheel?
What is in your opinion a reasonable asking price from a scrappy for a Zetec engine-wireloom (just the loom for the engine, not the one for the car),
and a 1.8 flywheel!?!?!
I'm offered engine looms for 80-160 pounds!!!! These things aren't made from gold I pressume?
For the flywheel I have to pay 85 pounds.
It's all a bit steep in my opinion, or am I just not into touch with reality?!?! What is a realistic price I can offer them for these parts!?!?!

You must live in a rich are, our local scrappy charges by size and shineyness!
Anything smaller than a caliper is £3, and go up in £5 increments after that, upto a staggering £60 for an engine.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Been quoted £35 for a 1.8 flywheel, loom came 'free' with the 2.0l zetec (£350). Having trolled around this site and others it seems using
the original zetec loom / injection is fraught with diffficulty so I will be going for an after market throttle body injection system so I may be able
to help you with the loom.

Making an engine loom from scratch is not too tricky. Just 1 or 2 wires from each sensor, and 2 from each injector. Most go back to ECU. Worth routing
thru a multi connector in the engine bay so it can be disconnected from the main loom easy if engine is removed and also makes tracing any faults
easier if the ECU has been mounted on "dry" side of the bulkhead.

Went to some scrappies today, and found the right flywheel; cost me 27 pounds. And found an almost complete Zetec 2.0 wireloom, which I could take
with me for 14 pounds. Soooooo, that's arranged.

I'm planning on using the standard Ford plenum chamber, provided it fits the chassis.......
I've updated my site, so take a look at the crap I bought.

Marcel,
Using the standard plenum seems a good idea. What kind of fuelling system will you use (halltech, DTA, emerald?)
Give me a shout if you need help setting the system up (it's my job)

Standard Ford stuff I hope... Budget is drying up currently! But I might need your help, as I've got absolutely NO knowledge at all on car
engines.
