Anyone!<br><br>If I had say a 1.6 zetec engine and a XR2i 8v with a shagged engine do you reckon it would be worth whacking the zetec in? <br>Also could someone pleeeaaaaassseee tell me what would be involved in the swapover. I'm pretty sure that I could keep the fuel tank, brakes, driveshafts and gearbox but I'm not sure.<br>Ladz (and lasses) any opinions are welcomed..........................<br> <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/eek.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/confused.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/eek.gif"><br><br>CheeRS, Rob.<br>

m8, i can't help wondering why you want to put the zetec in a 2i, as it would have less power than a 2i lump yet still leave you stung with 2i insurance. <br>maybe it'd be cheaper to buy a pukka 2i, or si?<br>i don't know much about engine transplants but i don't think fitting the zetec should be much of a problem as i think they're pretty similar.<br>hope thats of some use to you!<br>

Can see you're point mate, but I'm a student so lack of cash! I can pick up a 2i with a nice body for about £500. I am hopefully getting a zetec engine cheap and so I thought I could whack this in. Insurance shouldn't be too much of a prob. as I'm under my Mum's.<br><br>What do you reckon now? <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/wink.gif"><br><br>Cheers, Rob.
