2.0 Zetec In An S7?

Once my S7 is back in more or less one piece I am hoping to fit a 2 litre Black top Zetec rather than a pinto.

 

Just wondered if anyone has done this and what the weight/power advantages are over a Pinto setup

 

The car is currently fitted with a 2.0 Scorpio engine but this has never run in the car although it was a runner when it was removed from the scorpio I understand. It just looks like it'll be a nightmare to wire up!

Well stap me vitals, I've been pestered. Not in the biblical sense.

In 'standard tune' the blacktop zetec is about 30Kg lighter and about 50% more powerful. But some pintos come with pierburg carbs and some with EFI which is at least 15 bhp difference and zetecs need you to add bike carbs/webbers/throttlebody or 4 and something in the way of an ECU so there is no such thing as standard.

 

I would look at all the 'common' engines that have sumps, bellhousings and manifolds easily available and go from there. So that's Zetec blacktop, Toyota 4AGE, Vauxhaull redtop and the Duratec.
