the exhaust exits from the drivers side

The Zetec engine has the exhaust exit on the passenger side, which I thought was the same as the crossflow.
With regards the the type 9 I again thought that the bolt patterns were the same (although a new crud plate would need to be made).
I am sure there is someone that has done this who can confirm for sure.

Zetec exhaust left hand side, you could even use your crossflow manifold if you fitted a Zetec head flange plate, not ideal but Locost!!
Zetec bolts straight onto type 9 , with applicable clutch /release bearing
1.8 CVH starter motor can be used
Short sump needed , can be bought from Scholar , Raceline,Dunnell etc, or modify your own if you can ally weld.
Zetec taller than crossflow so may have to change nosecone or make a bulge.....

If you only have a 4 speed gearbox, I would recommend upgrading to a 5 speed (or better) Type 9 at the same time.

You need a starter from something like a 1.8 CVH Sierra. Will bolt straight up.

It may - it will fit the hole but it depends on the throw. I waited until I had mine apart and then checked to see if it would engage.
For me sadly not - so yes 1.8cvh version purchased (I think if you go injection you need a more hevy duty version).

Mine was from Pinto to Zetec but I have some of the Zetec before it was installed if they would help.
If so, let me have your e-mail address.

Injection or Carbs, the starter motor will be the same as the compression won't change unless you start doing serious engine work.
There is a flywheel (available from Burtons I think) which has a ring gear that will enable the use of a Crossflow starter. Cheaper and easier just to
get a Sierra starter, though.
A few Pics are in my Archive (Click link on left)
