It's a 1.8 CVH CFi (early fuel injection not carb'd) and I've taken the injection elements off and put bike carbs on it.

Ya I've started looking into that, theres a few zetecs going on ebay cheap too. If I can't salvage my cvh then I'll probly have to put a zetec in as getting ahold of another cvh would be near impossible. If I put a used zetec in though i'll end up with a Q plate though?

Would it help if you have the logbook for the engine cause you could take the whole car for 200 quid

Not sure to be honest, what year of mondeo was it as I'd prefer a pre 95 engine so I don't have to run a cat. Can anyone confirm whether if you had the logbook from both donor's if that would be enough to not get a Q plate?

I think it has to be a single donor with proof to get an age related plate.

All new parts, or all new with one major reconditioned as new component is current plate.

Anything else will get you a Q plate.

bummer, I guess if I got a brand new zetec then I could still get an age related based on the running gear and gearbox but not sure if that's worth it really as the only place I've seen selling them new is kit spares or ebay and they're £700-800

Emissions would be based on engine age, not the donor parts. If you went for a brand new engine you would have to meet current emission levels, ie cat and fuel injection.

Ya I figured i'd have to run a cat on anything post 95 whether new or not but are you also saying you couldn't run bike carbs on a new zetec with a cat and pass emmisions?
