Has anyone done this - specifically mating a 2.0 Zetec to the 2000E 4 speed and what is involved.

A gent is looking to buy my Zetec to stuff into his 1966 Lotus Cortina while he restores the engine but he wants to do a 'bolt in' and not have to move the location of the transmission for obvious ...

Im looking to replace the BMC on my cortina. Chances of finding an original one are slim so I want to swap it out for one from another car.

The bolt holes are 81mm apart (2 bolt)
Flange diameter is 40mm
Bore is 20.6mm

Wouldnt mind a slight Bias to the rear because of the rear disc brake ...

I'm not sure if it is the same one (don't think so) but I smile every time I look at it - wholly impractical, woeful performance, scary brakes etc - but I will attend to all these things in due time. I hope to scope out the engine which may end up in the car, this weekend.

You have probably seen it around, I'll post pics once I get some done.

That'll keep me busy for a few weekends then!

I may opt for carb(s) though as I don't know if I want to add complexity - lets face it, if I insert even a humble pre-xflow Mk1 drivetrain it will still produce 3-5 time the hp I am seeing now!

Who am I kidding - more horses while keeping it driveable ...

I'm looking at 'improving' the drivetrain in my Prefect - I want to stay 4 cyl and Ford so it will probably be a pre-crossflow GT or similar or even a Fiesta motor - though I am open to suggestions as long as it is a 4cyl ford drivetrain.

And yes, I will be looking for suggestions on brakes ...

New to the forum, just bought a 1951 Ford Prefect and will be poking at it with a blunt instrument over the summer to see if it can be made to go faster, stop better and generally behave properly while still looking like an old car.

It came with lots of bits including a spare engine/trans so I'll ...
