Engine Options

By summer I should be in a position to swap out my none working pinto for a replacement engine. I dont want to mess about fitting a zetec so wondered what engine and gear box combinations are straight fit onto each other and subsequently onto my existing prop.

 

Wiring etc I have no problem with so efi engines are fine. But the simpler the mechanical fit the better.

 

I know the simple answer is to fit another pinto and i most likely will, just want to make sure i don't miss out on something that could be better!

I have read a few zetec conversions and it never seems as simple as it should be. Maybe it's me wanting too much of an easy life!

 

If zetec is simplest then I think will stick with another pinto as that will be plug and play. As I said, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something like a moon buggy engine is a straight swap and better than a pinto.

What it lacks in power it makes up for in revs
