scored the bargain of the century!
managed to snag a silvertop zetec from a wagon with a stuffed trans for NZD$250! the local wreckers said they could sell me one for over a grand!

my brother and i stripped all the junk off it the other night so tomorrows project is to make up some engine mounts so i can sit it in place and start working out how things will fit. for the moment i think the sump will get replaced with some plastic rubbish bags and alot of duct tape until i decide how to modify the current one.

have been sidetracked a little bit by dads mustang race-car and i'm only home from uni for 2 weeks, should be able to get something done though.

Looking good with progress..
I sat my 1600 Fiesta Duratec in my Anglia with the factory thermo housing etc and had 10mm spare at the back, am going to 'notch' the bulkhead back 2inch when i get back into it...The Dat1600 i'm doing for a mate is taking time(rust repairs galore)!!

Took a few pictures before i left for uni again.

The engine is mounted on the original anglia gearbox to get the position right, fits perfect. The mounts are only the beginnings so that the car could be rolled again, didn't want to leave it in dads shed immobile.

The mounts will get some gussets welded into them and have some trimming and shaping done as well.

The pulsar radiator is a perfect fit.

next time home i will finish the mounts, cut the hole in the floor for the type 9 and mount that up.

If you use the Retro Ford water rail you will have to set the bulkhead back a little bit under the bulkhead lip. I have just done this. Fitted like a glove until I put the rail on and then it banged on the bulkhead. All sorted now.

alrighty, been a while since i've posted.

last time i was home i managed to get a wee bit done.
Bought some priming gear, filler, 2 pot primer, thinners etc. but never got a chance to use it, weather wasn't good enough.
I did manage to make a start on my headers though.
started off with a pile of bends and tube and managed to tack together the primary tubes, i'll fully weld them next time and then do the secondary's. I've gone for a 4-2-1 set up.
Im pretty proud of them since i've never done any fitting with tube or anything before, they came out mint and werent too hard to make them fit.

I've got a megajolt computer and a set of R1 carbs on their way from the states too, i'll be pushing to get the whole project finished over the summer holidays, i can see alot of late nights happening but hopefully i'll be able to get it done.

How much was the exhaust manifold kit, looks like a good option for custom transplants

Hi, i used a FilterKing regulator from Burtons, 80odd buks it has a built in filter under the regulator and looks old fashioned to match the car, the pump is a 4-7 Facet. I used a fuel pressure gauge to set the pressure at 2.5psi for now. Bike carbs only need gravity to
feed them which is why the low psi.
