Trial fitting the Zetec and gearbox

I knew in beforehand that it would not fit, but still I could not resist trial fitting the Zetec and mt75 gearbox. I forgot that it would not be possible to lower the engine and gearbox mounten together.




Tight fit but probably possible without modifying the transmission tunnel. (Tunnel was designed for Escort Mk1 4-speed gearbox).















The oil filter needs to be removed and replaced by a smaller version. The engine supports (made for a Crossflow engine) have to be cut, as well as the main diagonal strengtening beam. After fitting the engine new diagonals will be added.
