only problems are it's got a shot gearbox and shot engine mounts!!!
gonna put it in my 1.6 Si ( also zetec ) so what should i need off the escort other than the bottom end, head, inlet manifold and outlet manifold and the ecu????
and are all the xr3i zetec engines 130ps???

Search for what you need for a 2.0 conversion and you'll get a list of what you need.

Not all XR3i zetecs are 130ps, a lot are just 105ps 1800s like in the 2i 16v.

it'll say if it's a 105ps of 130ps on a sticker on a part of the air box bit on top of the engine
but most tend to be 105ps

i've been told the ECU codes are different, but if u could get the VIN number of the car being scraped, then go ford with that, u can see what engine was put in it

Engine number (usually stamped on coil pack end of head) should begin RQB if it's 130ps, and RDB if it's 105ps. Anything else is likely to be 115ps (but I could be wrong... again... as usual lol).

No. I took the time out to write a specific Si to 1800/2.0L guide on my site. It's up to you whether or not you take the time out to read it ;)

I do have an RS1800 gearbox for sale if you'd like?

Anyway, my guide's probably wrong :lol:
