But then I would have to fork out for ignition and injection systems and a cat. And then have to face stricter emmision tests. Mind you I might get a 12 Plate Or a 13 plate if it keeps soaking money up like this.

Dunno what to do now.
Just use an old engine ie cvh for iva then change to a new zetec or a newer one from a scrappy without having to find an old pre 95 one to suit emmisions

This is what i did and found an st170 engine in the scrappy with only 33k on the clock, by the time i sold the inlet manifold, starter motor etc it only owes me £200 (im still quite chuffed with this fact!)

You couldnt rebuild an old zetec for that much
