May have to join you Ill have to let you know

It sure does chris just got to bolt a few bits back up and its all done

I didnt know you nipped over and gave him a hand

Not too bad then just make sure you buy good quality stuff

Depends if you have any rivets in the body and bonnet vets etc

Dont bother with a demister weight reduction

There is a guy selling a few bits on locost builders if you need any spares

Why not just unbolt your fuel rail and take that out instead surely thats easier

It all depends what power he wants to get Ive put a st170 bottom end in mine with the blacktop head on it for my turbo in my 2b I really wouldnt bother with the vvt. Chris (tractor) had nothing but problems with his vvt and now hes going turbo also. The engine mounts on the st170 are the same as the blacktop so if there the same as the silver top thats easy enough to do I just dont know if there is any difference in the exhaust outlets

What colour or pattern are you after

I've got a metal factory to use so making one isn't the issue especially if someone has a file on it to laser out although it would be easier if someone has one about

Yeah that would be great thanks

I'm after a 2b bonnet without the efi cut out please if anyone has gone one kicking about

So quick update out the engine back together now so it's got the st bottom end with the zetec head fitted the arp rod bolts sump back on after drilling the for the turbo return plug back in the car and thankfully I didn't have to change any engine mounts which saved me some time. Big thanks to matt and tractor that came over and gave be a hand today

I've fitted the water rail to mine the dipstick just spins round and put a extender stud in the side of the head job done and my coil fits ok on the black top maybe the coil is in a different place on the silver top

Your better off doing what I did I managed to get a old 3 phase free standing pillar drill belt driven took the motor off managed to get a single phase one off eBay very cheap fitted it all works perfect and it's old so still has the quality

I did mine with tractors help last winter you will be happy with the end result for sure and you can use a few pinto bits any questions just message me

Is the rear end a lsd?

No I'm sparticus

I think matt from Leicester has a set for sale he's just changed to grp

I would upload some pictures of the adaptor plates but it won't let me at the moment

So I've been making my adaptor plate to take the escort manifold and then one to take the turbo to the manifold all made then bolted together
