[fiestachaser]

Hi, Finally going to "Bite the bullet" and Zetec my Mk1 Cortina.

It was Classic Ford Show which did it! Too many Zetec and ST170 conversions.

I'm looking for basically all parts-nice lump,sump,type 9,mounts etc.

Please let me know if you have any parts or  a complete kit.

Thanks

Stuart

I used Tiger Sports cars for the alloy bell housing /flywheel,starter motor and other bits.G19 engineering for sump /modification.Dan ST for manifold  and carbs if neccessary. I used Retro for mounts/alt bracket/gearbox adjustable mount and few other bits but quality is very poor.I am sad to say I could not recommend Retro to anybody.If you do use Retro get the wide tunnel gearbox mount ,not standard, even for standard tunnel. The "standard" mount is way too narrow and fits badly.I had to widen mine by approix 4inches even though its standard Ford manual tunnel GRP4 alloy rad and Spal fan.Custom made exhaust.Check out my posts under Blacktop to escort mk2 conversion recently

hi mate im just about to start the same project as you, im going for the st170 engine and plan to keep the vvt even with a bike carb conversion and a nodiz type sparks arrangement. i had a chat with dan st engineering and he said by the end of november he will have a module that will control fueling,sparks and vvt and be fully mappable. i going down the 4 speed gearbox route, hopefullly a bullet box with that long bottom gear, keep us posted on how you get on and please if your going 5 speed type 9 box and you are offered a bullet or even a rocket 4 speed let me know. im in essex and have a large van to collect stuff, if its all in the same place i can collect for you too. thanks russ.
