Hi Russ, Did you find out what the problem was with the old engine ? I would still be interested in that as a mock up for my H4x4 rather than using my good engine.

In that case it is the same size as the ST engine fitted in mine. I didn't do the conversion but i had to change the engine so have some idea of how it's done. The clearance at the crankpulley end is quite tight but it is possible without cutting anything, clearance at the gearbox end is even worse 1mm only. I'll take and post some pics later, The exhaust has had some work done to squeeze it in. The biggest problem however is on the induction side i don't see how it would be possible to use the original system, mine is running on bike carbs and that still a bit of a squeeze. Engine mounts need to be pretty firm and a head steady is a good idea. Just realised the topic started by the chap who did the conversion is still on proboards forum take a look at ST170 Saloon posted by nickp.

Anyone have any experience of this... tips.problems . pointers etc? Most of the info I have found relates to using the old silvertop zetec engine - I won'r be using one of those (too old/rare/expensive in comparison to plentiful cheap blacktops) I don't see any problems with manifolds, loom, injection, ecu etc. (I will be using aftermarket ecu/efi) Biggest problem I see is very tight fit/access in engine bay at crank pulley/cambelt end. Ideally I do not want to be cutting inner panel. John -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
