2.0 Zetec toType 9

[Bonzo]

I am with you now.

Depend's on your budget realy.

Being as I am a true locoster at heart .... I would head down to my local breakers, get down n dirty & strip the bejesus out of a 1.8 silvertop Escort ( From K to about R reg )

I would have the, clutch, flywheel, alloy sump & engine sandwich plate. At my local yard I would expect to pay about £15-£20 for that lot.

The big downside is the time & effort it will take you to remove the gearbox

Flywheel will be a direct fit.

Clutch cover can be re-used if still servicable.
You'll then need to source a clutch friction plate with a 1" 23 spline centre & a CCT133 release bearing.

The sandwich plate can be altered to suit the type 9 box ( Starter on the other side )

If you don't mind the engine sitting a little higher in the engine bay, the sump could be used, as is.
Failing that it needs to be shortened by about 25 - 30 mm.

A 1.8 CVH starter motor will be needed .... Some say that the 2 litre DOHC Sierra one fits but I do not know this for sure !!??
Ebay for the starter or a recon one from a motor factor .... If going the recon route .... save the Escort one & give the facor that one as the exchange unit, they'll not know the difference

I believe the water pump on the 2 litre turns the wrong way ( Due to belt set up ) .... May be worth grabbing the 1.8 Escort one as this is the one you will need.

Spiggot bearing for the flywheel ( Part number in the other thread )

Hey presto, you should have all you need to fit the type 9 box on to a 2 litre Blacktop Zetec engine

I am sure others will add to this thread .... Bound to have missed a few tricks or a vital bit of advice
