When i get home (on my phone atm) i will run through everything needed for a 2l zetec conversion

 

Another option would be to consider a 130 spec 1.8

 

On paper its only marginaly slower than a 2k and the engine will slot right in. The 1.8 is also much much easier to find and much cheaper

I have read this, and as I have the 1.8 fitted already (105ps variant) it could be an easy option. Its just finding one my way (SY8 area) for some reason every other car is a 2.0 mondeo. 

 

I'm going to overhaul the engine, strip down, rebuild with fresh shims, plugs, bearings, and tuftriden crank, along with ARP bolts throughout. 

 

I want to do it once and do it properly.
