Budget RWD Zetec guide MK2 Escort, what I used.

Hi Guys,

Just a little guide on what is needed to put a blacktop Zetec into a MK2 Escort.
As you can see from the video it is a budget conversion it is not the neatest install but not the most expensive either! Excuse the poor filming/editing!

Thanks for watching, any questions feel free to ask.

list of parts I used:
2L blacktop
Home made water rail
Home made alternator/pulley mount
CVH 1.8 Sierra sump
1.8 Zetec flywheel
1.8 Zetec Mondeo MK1 clutch
Luk 500018410 release bearing
Standard Sierra 1.8 type 9 gearbox/mount
Standard Sierra 1.8 type 9 starter motor

Hey Ashley! Thanks for posting this, though I could hardly understand a word you were saying, and the music interferes with hearing also.

[fivedotsdave]

Nice job, the way you are upgrading is the same way I would go. I hope it all goes well for you, it has given us a few ideas.

[michaelmatthews]

liking the water rail idea. as I have a zvh going rwd..

[JayTee-OlzBlk]

Hiya im doing same thing for a Sierra can you tell me what alternator you used please thanks

[thelilleyspad]

Do you have a part number for the early mondo clutch you used? I want to go down the same route but want to make sure I get the correct one?

Hi mate wanting to do a zetec swap on my 100e have u got any pics or videos on the water rail and alternator bracket u made?

[tomgibbs]

Hi Ashley, did you buy the chassis mount parts as a kit? It looks like the bushes are the same as WCXM ones. I think some chassis mount kits use leaf spring bushes, which I would of thought transfer more vibrations to the chassis. Thanks for doing this video, definitely helps a lot with people looking at doing the conversion!

Ashly, I know it's been 2 year since you shared this video, but do you remember what bellhousing did you use? Standard Type9? I'm looking forward to swap my 2.0lts pinto for a 2.0 Zetec, and still be able to use my stock 4spd Type E gearbox.

I've currently got a 1600 xflow in my mk1 escort at the moment is it worth the effort putting a zetec in?

[kristianellis]

Is that release bearing a mk1 Mondeo part aswell or is that a specialised part, also, when you say clutch, do you mean clutch cover and pressure plate??
Thanks this video has solved many problems already 👍

[billywhizz]

What is the difference between the Black top and silver

[seanyroche]

what carbs are you putting on it or is it still injection?

[littlechris]

Any pictures or a video off How did u make the sump fit and how did you bolt the pick up pipe on where it bolts to the crank bearing

[sanga]

I have a blacktop and a modified cvh sump, teh sump doesnt fit properly and the oick up line wont fit either because of the bolts on the internals, any ideas how I can get round this as I do not want to buy a retroford sump for 3 times the price of the engine lmao

Hi are u doing a video on the mk1 fiesta

[rikka]

Hi mate you said early Mondeo flywheel was It a mk1 or mk2 ? Thanks :-)

[Fordmk]

Would these parts apply for a mk1 granada engine conversion for zetec

[jezdimvrakem]

hello, did the sierra type9 gearbox sitted on this engine right away, or you did some modifications on it? Also, did you modified the housing of the gearbox that sits on the engine? Im just going to swap my 2l pinto in sierra for a 2l Zetec engine (45mm dual carbureted, fast road cams, tubular headers etc)

Hi I really want to do this just like you describe here.
I really don’t want to spend the world. And I don’t have access to a garage like you have.
Would you be happy to do a conversion for me.
I’m located in South Yorkshire and would appreciate it if we could contact
Many thanks
