- Hi Guys,
Just a little guide on what is needed to put a blacktop Zetec into a MK2 Escort.
As you can see from the video it is a budget conversion it is not the neatest install but not the most expensive either! Excuse the poor filming/editing!
Thanks for watching, any questions feel free to ask.
list of parts I used:
2L blacktop
Home made water rail
Home made alternator/pulley mount
CVH 1.8 Sierra sump
1.8 Zetec flywheel
1.8 Zetec Mondeo MK1 clutch
Luk 500018410 release bearing
Standard Sierra 1.8 type 9 gearbox/mount
Standard Sierra 1.8 type 9 starter motor 
Авто/Мото
Nice job, the way you are upgrading is the same way I would go. I hope it all goes well for you, it has given us a few ideas.
liking the water rail idea. as I have a zvh going rwd..
Good video and thanks for sharing!
Great video mate
Hi mate wanting to do a zetec swap on my 100e have u got any pics or videos on the water rail and alternator bracket u made?
Do you have a part number for the early mondo clutch you used? I want to go down the same route but want to make sure I get the correct one?
Hi Ashley, did you buy the chassis mount parts as a kit? It looks like the bushes are the same as WCXM ones. I think some chassis mount kits use leaf spring bushes, which I would of thought transfer more vibrations to the chassis. Thanks for doing this video, definitely helps a lot with people looking at doing the conversion!
Tom Gibbs hello, Yeah I bought a kit not sure where from though. Its fairly stiff but its not mega stiff that the car shakes. If you get what I mean!
Buenas noches!!
Me podrías indicar que caja de velocidades
Kit de embrague y bolante de inercia utilizas
Gracias!!!
Hiya im doing same thing for a Sierra can you tell me what alternator you used please thanks
Is that release bearing a mk1 Mondeo part aswell or is that a specialised part, also, when you say clutch, do you mean clutch cover and pressure plate??
Thanks this video has solved many problems already 👍
Kristian Ellis hello, The bearing is a sierra part, similar to original escort item just has a spacer built into it. Yes clutch cover and pressure plate from a MK1 Mondeo. Cheers dude.
Thanks for fast reply and great advice still pondering on wether to got for pinto power in the mk2 or a Zetec but thanks all the same
Ashly, I know it's been 2 year since you shared this video, but do you remember what bellhousing did you use? Standard Type9? I'm looking forward to swap my 2.0lts pinto for a 2.0 Zetec, and still be able to use my stock 4spd Type E gearbox.
Sorry for late reply. Yes I used a standard bell housing, I got gearbox/housing straight from a Sierra 1.8 cvh.
@@AshleyBurch thanks! Was that a type9 gearbox? Sierras 1.8cvh didn't make it to Argentina I'm afraid lol
@@joel.ew10a yeah a standard type 9.
@@AshleyBurch thanks again!
what carbs are you putting on it or is it still injection?
Im putting my zx6r carbs back on this engine.
I've currently got a 1600 xflow in my mk1 escort at the moment is it worth the effort putting a zetec in?
Guess it depends what you want from the car!
@@AshleyBurch I'm after more power without spending loads of money. Have you had yours on the dyno?
No I have not had it dyno'd its not actually been setup yet! So I could be missing out on power! Well zetecs can be put in relatively cheap also can be very tuneable. Could also go st170 and use the vvt.
Hi are u doing a video on the mk1 fiesta
SCOTT BAIRD hello, its not actually my car it is a friends car but I will ask him see if he minds. Its such a cool little car!
I have a blacktop and a modified cvh sump, teh sump doesnt fit properly and the oick up line wont fit either because of the bolts on the internals, any ideas how I can get round this as I do not want to buy a retroford sump for 3 times the price of the engine lmao
Dnoop_Sogg yeah you can get away with bashing it with a hammer, I extended mine slightly. If I was doing it again I would buy a Neil Dunne sump. Much better price than retroford and fit really well the few I have seen.
Any pictures or a video off How did u make the sump fit and how did you bolt the pick up pipe on where it bolts to the crank bearing
Chris a hello, the pickup pipe I just used a bolt with two nylock nuts to stop it moving (you can buy a adaptor thingy from retroford). I extened the sump slightly where people say you just need to bash it. Watch the video below you'll see what I mean by the bolt and the sump. Excuse the shite mic!

Ashley Burch thanks that helped abit but my sump s catching on the oil pump Did urs catch there as its no letting the holes line up
Chris a yeah. People said you can bash it but I ended up making a slight buldge with the welder. I drilled a few holes a few mm bigger and tapped 4 holes in the 4 corners. Honestly if I was doing it again I would get a neil dunne sump. Cvh was a pain to get it to seal properly. I found only could get it to seal was with engine out.
Ashley Burch yeah I was gonna drill and tap the holes any. Any pictures off the bulge u make
Just had a look and dont have any sump photos unfortunately. Unless you can just see it in a video but don't think I filmed it much. I'll try grab a photos in a few days when next up there. But its literally just a metal plate over the end then cut/grind away what was hitting the oil pump.
Hi mate you said early Mondeo flywheel was It a mk1 or mk2 ? Thanks :-)
Not 100% sure to be honest but think it was early mk2.
What is the difference between the Black top and silver
Black has better valves I think
Would these parts apply for a mk1 granada engine conversion for zetec
Aslong as you are using a zetec with a type 9 gearbox I dont see why not. Physical mounting might be different.
Ashley Burch ok thankyou ı will be using the type 9
Would it be the same setup if used a st170 then
I'm under the impression the st170 engine is the same just better internals. Ashley.
Ashley Burch ı think it's better to start with a st170 because allready ahead about 30bhp hopefully :)
Are these any good
What is the transmission type?
Abdullah İSPİR sierra type 9 I believe he said
Hello my friend... I want to help me i watch you and i want to help me if you can. I have one ford capri 1969 and i want to put the 2,0L zetek with gearbox mt75. If you can help me and give me advice
hello, did the sierra type9 gearbox sitted on this engine right away, or you did some modifications on it? Also, did you modified the housing of the gearbox that sits on the engine? Im just going to swap my 2l pinto in sierra for a 2l Zetec engine (45mm dual carbureted, fast road cams, tubular headers etc)
Hey, no its a direct bolt on.
This video would have been better if you did a voice over instead of speaking from a distance.
could ya get a better mic and could you also gear your info towards North american.. we dont get the mondaro...
