Engine liberated!

Yesterday I have liberated the engine form the Mondeo. I have disconnected all the electrics, the hoses etc. Then I cut the propshafts with an angle grinder. Removed the forward and aft gearbox supports, so the engine and gearbox were supported in 2 supports only.

I could lift the engine and gearbox out very easily.

Note that I have labelled all the connectors from the wiring loom.





The Sierra mt-75 gearbox fits directly to the 1.8 Zetec engine.

Mondeo donor car

Due to regulations in Holland I am forced to use another engine. Not the 1.6 Kent which had already been fitted. Fuel injection, labda and catalitic converter must be used. I have chosen to use a Ford zetec engine, because it can easily be fitted to a Ford RWD gearbox. Enter the Ford Mondeo donor vehicle!

Parts which will be used are at least: Engine and clutch, wiring loom, ECU, labda, catalitic converter and the fuel pump. Maybe I will use the steering column , the inlet manifold, air filter, MAF-sensor etc.
