Zetec Motor Swap

Post by TheSeatGuy »

Where do I find information on doing this?
What vehicle is the best to find an engine in the US?
Thank you for your help.

Google zetec rwd, also if you go on turbosport forum you will find a whole section on engine swaps. The most common use of this engine in rwd is in the mk1 and mk2 escorts, but also the kit cars, so look there. Also speak to jlh minors as he. Is the one who has 'pioneered' this swap into the minor.

Loads of info on various old skool ford forums about this, they're all doing it.
Much of the conversion bits are the same. The moggy needs the rear xmember chopping and some engine mounts making though, probably more.

Focus has a zetec in the US.
What would Macgyver do..?
