I can get them for cheaper than that Nic, I could probable swing something like $500 under 60 000k, with 6 month warranty.  I can ask to take away warranty and get a cheaper price to.

for the camshafts and cams, Im pretty sure your gonna need some sort of dyno tune to get those dialed in, no?


I would agree with kamilk...we can just get your stock one resurfaced and put in a stage 1 or 2 spec clutch...Are you going with boost?  Cuz you wanna get the right grind for your cams to, and if you are Id recommend a min stage 2 or 3 spec clutch for the job.

I figure a day to do remove & re-install.  Intake manifolds, cams, those sort of bolt ons will take no time once the engine is out.  Porting and that kind of stuff, you need a week to do...shops here in Ottawa for that kind of stuff are pretty booked.  I know to port and polish my stock zetec head is $800 with new valves and hardware.  And the guy does AMAZING work.

prob no turbo...at least my money say no since this swap is going

so lets say we have:

Zetec Engine with mtx75 (no warranty) (i guess around $400-$450 CAD)
Focus Racing st.2 cams ($180 U.S. on sale)
Focus Centrel cam gears ($150 US. on sale)
2000K ported intake minifold ($80 U.S.)
Reserfacing Flywheel ($40)
Clutch Spec stage 2( $350 U.S. + ??)
Porting head wih all the hardware ($800 CAD) :(

right now = $2050 plus shipping for all parts i say another $400 or so ~ $2500
