I have recently bought my 3rd Quantum...a saloon with the original 1600 cvh engine fitted. In time I shall want to fit a more modern engine with fuel injection. Advice please, which is the best engine to go for and what exactly is involved? Research would seem to suggest that an 1800cc Zetec is possibly the best option as such engines are readily available and considerably cheaper than the 2 litre version of the same engine. Is this information correct? Will this engine bolt up to a standard ib5 box? What type of electric water pump do people use? Which fuel tank will fit? I understand that the brake servo may well need upgrading,,to what ? Also I've heard that some club members have used Mondeo disks / callipers to beef up the brakes, but that 14 or 15" wheels become necessary in order to fit over the Mondeo equipment. Finally (for this post anyway) I will very probably want to fit power steering: my first Quantum saloon had very heavy steering, which I "cured" by fitting the largest diameter Mountney wheel I could buy. I have heard that one could use either an electric column from an MG or a Vauxhall item from a Corsa. Please could someone tell me specifically which parts to get? ( Which model of corsa / MG...what else needs to be done...what snags there are). Do I have to attach the Ford bracketry to the new column to take all the Ford switch gear? I know that a lot of this information is probably here already on the forum, if I knew where to look; accordingly I'm interested in any replies...even if they only point me in the right direction ! Cheers Bill
