Don't count on selling bits of the donor engine to recoup costs. My experience is the bits are worth pennies.
You can also get a 2.0 lump for jut over £100.
Keep it simple and get it tested and then have years of upgrade fun is the way I would go. 
I would not count on getting an engine with carbs through an iva unless its a pre aug 1995 engine, and they are now rare.

So a 2.0 black top with sub 100k, Now this one is a bit far but there are others and my guess is he would do a deal for cash
eBay Item
The St170 exhaust manifold is a good quality tuned length 4-2-1 that can easily be modified to fit a 7. The Avon chassis is a little different but
worth a look. eBay Item
Do the sump your self.
Same basic Denso alternator as the rest but a real one and designed to rev unlike the copy's.

Oem ecu for £20.
Make up a plenum.
You could install a 2.0 for around £500 it will give around 150bhp and pass iva with no tuning.
It also gives you the 2.0 base engine to tune the next year.
Just my opinion.

2 litre throttle bodies head work and cams will do 200 need arp bolts etc

F@*K me backwards and call me shurley...
Just got myself a ST170 engine, complete with all aux loom and ecu, no exhaust manifold though. 60k miles. (seen and heard running)
How much i hear you say...£100
So thats circa 150bhp as is.
1: Will running bike throttle bodies and NODIZ/MS (with vct control) pass IVA. and do i use the st injectors and blank off the bike or run the bike
infectors and blank off the st's.
2: If no to the IVA pass, will ditching the ford ECU and running NODIZ/MS on a stock engine give me a good BHP improvement.
cheers guys.

Sounds like the one I was watching and forgot about.
Forget bike carbs for iva.
Forget switching the vvt on/off.
You will need a cat for Iva.
Cheapest, use all the donor bits for an easy Iva pass and power of around 155~170
Other option, Tb's and stand alone with vvt delete or controller. Costs soon run away.

So the ST170 engine is dead. long live the standard 2.0 zetec.
Now lets try again.
2.0 zetec 92k 2000 w reg. I have a new 1.8 flywheel and clutch, new spigot bearing, type 9 gasket kit & new reverse switch. All plugs and sensors
seem to have been left on but looms been cut at each one to remove. pulleys and water pump all there. inlet and injectors look good. alternator
bracket and engine mounts still attached and the 2.0 flywheel. £120 and a little man handling into the boot.
I now need to sort out getting it hooked up, serviced and running... easy ???
I have £500 (excluding exhaust and service parts)
I trust you lot can point me in the direction of 150+ bhp, i'll be doing it all myself & free help.
Looking at R1 throttle bodies at the minute delivered for £65.
leaving £435.
what next

not what he said, video he sent was of a silver st, got there to collect it and he showed me the blue st it came out of with front end damage, said it
had been listed in error and could only supply main block and head.
