hello, im starting a zetec or duratec engine conversion on a mk1 cortina. soon i will be needing.......the list begins dear santa either an st170 zetec engine or an st150 duratec engine.(i think thats right) i want to run it on bike carbs and a stand alone management sparks system, i will also need a rear bowl sump and pick up pipe a suitable flywheel and would like to keep the hydraulic clutch system. ive heard about the water rail issues and that doesnt pose a problem. also will require a rwd exhaust manifold for either engine depending on what is available at the time . Gearbox, my preference leans to a 4 speed bullet or rocket type gearbox with the tall first gear, i have seen straight cut gearboxes on here and would go the extra for a good example. i will for the time run with the standard cortina diff which i believe may be a 3.89.1 english type, if an rs2000 3.54.1 or an lsd popped up i could be seriously tempted. i also need all the clocks and dials for the dashboard classic smiths types are preferred but not essential, i need speedo revo watery oily volty and fuely gauges any kind of rear disc brake conversion anti tramp kit for the rear axle a full roll cage set of banded steel wheels or minilites or dunlop d1 alloys,with or without tyres. 175x50x13 would be cool i currently have someone interested in buying my westfield so the moment im holding and folding i must spend the money or i will fritter it away. so there is a start to my list of items. please call or message me here or e-mail, whatever way suits you but a phone call is the most direct. russ 07543 203666 or e-mail freetrade72@gmail.com thanks for reading . please try and give this child a happy christmas...........
