Yes, it will be more work but nothing insurmountable. The first thing to think about though is probably the engine management. All the black top engine ECU’s will be coded to the key so you need to make sure you buy an ecu with a matching car wiring loom, ignition key sensor and ignition key. The best thing to do is buy a written off but running car, then you can get all the parts you need. Don’t go too new though as i believe on later cars the instrument cluster can also be coded to the ecu and the ecu won’t work without it. I’ve not actually confirmed this myself.
The alternative is an aftermarket engine management system but ideally still get the Ford wiring loom for the engine so you have all the correct plugs for the engine. Jim From: Andrew Owen Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 12:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Quantum Owners] Silvertop vs Blacktop I want to change the 1.6 zetec engine in my H4 for a 2 litre zetec. There are lots of Blacktop engines available with sensible miles and cost, but low mileage Sivertops are not so easy to come by. I have looked at lots of info on the internet and so I have a reasonably good idea of the work involved in the swop. However I am not sure if the Blacktop is going to present more difficulties in fitting than the Silvertop, could anyone give advice on this?
