There is a bolt in kit that Ford Racing sells and it will allow a 4.6L or a 5.0L to fit snuglly inside. But I think it's only the frame and suspension they offer you have to provide a engine and all the other goodies.

logoris,May 5 2009, 07:25 PM Wrote:thanks Okay - to be clear - to make a swap to RWD the first thing that goes is the engine and transmission ... so the terms 2.0 and Zetec no longer apply - - with engine and tranny out it's a Focus shell ... and frankly it could have been an SPI to begin with and it would all be the same. So the answer is "no" you cannot use a transmission from a RWD vehicle on the Zetec engine which is engineered for FWD. You can, however, use certain Mustang transmissions when used in conjunction with a RWD application V8. If you checked out the link I gave you, they specify what engines and transmissions will work with their V8 kit ... ie: the T5 manual and the C4 automatic

I remember seeing a show about a Lotus 7 kit (Caterham) using Zetecs in RWD configuration.
There is some information in this links below that may help you: link to connecting zetec to rwd transmission another link to connecting zetec to rwd application zetec rwd conversion kit Another zetec rwd thread

Ford Racing no longer sells the Kugel Kit I beleive they got suied. But for a V6 Swap a SVT Contour Motor Would prob fit best.

Why would you want a 3.0l Vulcan in it? About the same hp and torque as a Zetec, just way heavier. If you want to go V-6, go with a Duratec of some sort. 3.0, or a 2.5 would be your best bets.

I was going to say, the SVT Contour motor would be good BUT theres a reason they swap them out for 3.0L Duratecs so you might as well try that- one buddy in Burlington swapped a 3.0L duratec in his SVT and dynod 215WHP, plus Nautilus makes turbokits for those motors and average member is putting out over 300WHP with that setup

The Merkur used the 2.3 Lima engine (can you spell Pinto) - so it's doubtful the manifold would match up to the Zetec - but maybe the turbo itself might be useful although it would have to be more than 20 years old now.
