green one

i have copied this from another forum but though people would to see it on here there will be abit of a dump of posts .a little bit about the car this is as it sat as of a couple of days ago it had a 1600 bored 40 thou, ported head, mild cam, twin side draft dellortos,celica 5 speed, escort diff, gt front brakes, lowered, 15 inch superlites, painted porsche ascot green done in my drive way, some nissan seats a few custom fibre glass bits in side , pair of 15 inch fusion subs amp couple of down lights in the boot. ive done every thing on the car except exhaust and wheel alignment. i managed to get a photo shoot with street machine ford magazine a few years ago




now the next stage i purchesed a mondeo and stripped the motor and few other bits out of and the rest went to scrap metal

then the motor come out of the cortina


and in with the zetec


its in the engine bay but thats about it i was hoping the inlet was going to fit but no luck an no go on the exhaust manifold or the sump so me being a tight ass these will be made or some thing else modified to fit so progress will be slow from here.

ive got the inlet manifold finished spent a fair bit of time getting the idle control mounted to it out the way.
engine mounts are done using standard mounts
pcv modified to fit behind the engine mount
and sump and pick done i used a 1600 kent sump cut the flange of the top and welded a new one on
i didn't take to many photos doing this but ive got some finished ones
also got my clutch made just using standard flywheel ,clutch plate to suit the celica box and modified pressure plate
i got an exhaust manifold flange cut as a favour for doing some work for someone
so here are some photos





 

its all go went for a little test drive around the block earlier and it had a bit of a dead spot when accelerating wheather i was driving or not but it still had old fuel in it . so i bolted the bonnet back on grill and finnished a few thing and went to get petro. i take off on the first up hill and it bogs down bad pull over then go again by this time i no ive got no petrol but its mostly down hill from then on i went back streets but the first sine of a hill and it stops i can get it to run but only just i try ring my wife to bring a jerry can but my phones cut off so it decide to start pushing i get over the crest roll down to the intersection try again to take off but no go. luckerly there are a couple walking that give me a push of roll down the hill from there made it through the next intersection got it to run enough to get into the servo. put some fuel in took of from the servo not overly hard but it starts stepping out sideways nothing like to old 1600 that i had to rev the gusts out of it to get it to go. had a bit more fun on the way home sounds strong pulls hard makes all the stuffing around making every think worth it.


im not real happy with the bottom rad hose once i find the right bends that reduce it will look better
i think in total i would be under $1000 its a bit more than i though at first but no bad

Awesome home fabrication!!
 
I've not seen the sump created that way.. Some more pics would be great (if possible)
 
What did you do for the water take off at the back of the head.
 
Exhaust looks spot on.

to old motor is sitting in my drive way it not it to good a shape it was low on compression and pumpinng oil out the dip stick

whooligan
thanks
they are nice motor puts the 1600 to shame it makes the car nice to drive .
i did a fair bit of research before doing it  i think i have seen just about every thing to do with a zetec on the net and felt like i was the one going around round abouts

What did you use for the intake manifold flange
It looks like you cut the plastic runners after(before) the injector bosses and the just attached the rubber hoses. is this right???

It turned out really well
