Whats the cheapest way of doing this?
So far i've come up with sierra cvh sump and pickup (might need altering a bit but shouold be in the correct ish ball park), cvh clutch and flywheel, type 9 box, make my own engine mounts.
That should be enough to get the bugger in there.
What about this water rail and stat housing business?
Also ancilliary items, i remember something baout certain water pumps going in different directions and so on?
Radiator is easy so no issues there.
Induction + ignition would be via a standard plenum setup and maybe a megaspurt ecu if the original can't be used.
Whaddaya reckon?

I have a 72 capri im putting a zetec in, the Zetec R is probably the best, It was the last zetec built before they changed to Duratec, the oil filter screws onto the block, U need a raceline water rail or u can just use a piece of radiator hose and a steel pipe then put the thermostat housing out at the radiator, u need to modify your sump, u can buy an ignition only module which is what i used with a set of Dellorto 45s, a Borg warner T5 Box from a mustang (same box as 2wd cossi siera) and used the 2.0 zetec flywheel/pressure plate with a ford 9 inch clutch plate and a hydraulic release bearing, a modified bell housing was used, Ive been told its easier to use 1.8 escort zetec flywheels etc as they are lighter and a T9/sierra box, but this was no use to me as my engine is over 240hp and the T9 Box is only good for 200 if even. I have a diagram of what mods to do to your own sump which i will post when i find it and engine mounts will have to be fabricated
