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?

the best!

this is one of the best conversions i've seen!

i know its not the zetce into a capri but there's loads of very good hints and advice related to the zetec swap.

apparently the CVH sump needs mods, the water rail is to move the thermostat housing as it WILL hit the bulkhead. I understand that the alternator needs moving too and that there are different water pumps.

google "zetecescorts", there is some good info on there.

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 :o
