also looking for zetec/duratec rwd conversion parts

[65cortina]

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.

hello again col thanks for quick reply, it seems you do have what im looking for in respect of the 3.54.1 diff and the axle with brakes and tramp bars. the clocks too. i really want to look for some banded steels to look a bit classic and dont really want to grind back wheel arches and stuff but thanks anyway, heres my number 07543 203666, im hoping to get news on wednesday regarding the sale of my westfield which is going to fund this cortina project, also i need to cash in the s2000 running gear which is also on ebay and pistonheads. so fingers crossed and i will be in touch asap. ps what part of the country are you in mate ???

Hi Ya , I have a DURAtec ST 2.0L     , I got it as a job lot when I bought my Escort estate , the original owner was going to put the ST engine in it , but I am putting a Pinto engine in it to keep it more orginal as it would have been done in the day !!!!, so I dont know anything about the engine what it was from ,how many miles its done ,all I know that is was bought to go in the car so must be good or he would never have bought it I guess ???? so if interested I live in  Gillingham Kent  my number is 07887946850.

 

Cheers Terry
