Well, as some of you already knew, my car had previously undergone a transformation from a measely 1.4 8v PTE engine, to a slightly more enjoyable RS 1800 engine in Sept '06. However the day before ford fair this year, the head gasket decided it had had enough...
So i decided rather than messing about replacing head gaskets and having the old head checked, it was time to throw in a 2.0 engine.
Took me a few days but i sourced a series 2 silvertop mondeo engine off eBay, for a bargain at £90 delivered
It arrived a few days later, on a pallet wrapped up nicely. Got it in the van and took it to where my car is stored...
New engine, still with all its mondeo bits on it (inc useless TAXI ecu)
Engine is a little dirty so i popped to halfords for a helping hand...
Engine that will be coming out...
Car on the drive ready to be "sorted"
That's all i got up to yesterday, plan is to do the conversion over the bank holiday weekend - that's if all goes to plan. I am planning to use all my 130PS RS1800 stuff (loom, maf, and ecu) to run the engine. I know it probably won't run at it's full potential, but if it doesn't work well, i will replace all this stuff when i get the money to do so)
I will try and get as many pics as poss during the conversion, and ill update soon
