The zetec is a nice tasty lump...You have to swap the sump,oil pick up, and get a water rail made up from head..You also need all the leccy as well...
I got offered a full mk5 rs2000 last week for £200..Would of been a good donor car,it got stolen n crashed by some tea leaves,and the unlucky guy whos car it was,didnt have it insured as it was off the road.. The engines are far better as there chain driven......

I am looking at the same conversion - I take it from above that some zetec engines are different - chain drive and belt drive? will they both mate up to my RS bellhousing?
