if you try you can find running ones in a car for £500-£600, buying one that way you know you still have a good working engine, take the engine out and sell/scrap the rest and your get some money back
doesnt look a bad deal if price dont go too high

bought mine for £250 , then stripped it, and rebuilt using all steel crank, forged rods and pistons ,reworked head ,apr bolts everywhere, hphc oil pump. total 3k.
With modern swaps go in with your eyes open, the engines seem to be the cheapest part it's fitting it that cost's the most. I am nearly completing a duratec swap and are probably £5k in by the time i have finished. Gearbox (mx5) was £150 and engine i got £150. Add in sump cross member throttle bodies ecu water rail propshaft list goes on and these parts add up quickly. But you do get a nice engine etc at the end with some nice power from an unstressed engine.
I think they look nice in the engine bay.i do have a complete 2ltr duratec from a Mondeo,I know a bit about xflow and pinto I've never done much with zetec
If you have a duratec fit that probably cost the same to install in the end. If you know it’s good

Wow! So different - glad I simplified mine to just Crank - WP - Alternator!
yea i could ave gone down that route , and made it easier, but as i had it all come with the engine, and my plan all along was to run power steering on my project , so i needed a PS pump
That engine looks good Mike.
What is the engine management system that your running on these ST170.
I am still trying to decided which is the best one for me.
Hi 105e GARY, i havent got that far yet still modifiying / welding the shell , yea the engine if fully rebuilt with steel crank / rods and forged pistons, HPHC OIL pump and a reworked head, but i think im gona use ME221.. or the other option is nodiz as im running carbs, only time and funds will decide. cheers mike
