OK, I'm begginning to look into engine transplants, I'm looking for something that'll not be too slow, be an easy swap, etc etc. I was thinking along the lines of a 2 litre mondeo lump, as this'll probably be more insurance freindly then if I mention the dreaded letters "XR" or "RS". Cheers.

I drive a 1.8D ;-(

[Project]

2.0L Zetec on twin 45 carbs - easy 165bhp but more likely aroun 180.

BTW, petrol cheap round your way???

Phil, wot do u pay for insurance BTW? I'm looking in2 an Si transplant but wondered wot insurance would b like. U come from same area as me & about same age so u probably best person 2 ask!

[Phil Si]

hmm i Will be paying 1500 for the year tpft at the end of may.
is with provident thru academy.
I got a 40% discount tho as ive been with them for 6 months already. so i got a yncb early.
they made a lady lever up tho, as when i rang for a quote b4 i got the car, they quoted me 1000 for the year, then they told me that they made a mistake and that was for half a year funlumps
try CIS, loads of people swear by it, unlike me who swears AT my company
ps
what skool did u go to??

Bruster with the diesel there is allot of stuff involved in converting the engine as far as i can see

i think "only goessing" you will need manifolds from a zetec 2i, Wiring loom from a 2i and a losd of other bits. i would advise a different gear box as the diesel one has long rations. (not much acceleration) does anyone know about drive shafts and stuff from diesel cars with different gearboxes ?
