    Re: Cabrio engine choice

    Kieran is correct, it may turn out to be a bit more difficult than you think, but it is possible as there a several Zetec powered Cabrios around.
    I didn't have a problem with the steering/inlet manifold. Omex do use the standard manifold, but since I had to manufacture engine mounts I had the ability to locate the engine so that it cleared steering shaft. Its close but there is a bit of space.
    The exhaust manifold did foul the floor and had to be bent, my friendly local garage did that using an acetylene torch and a 7 foot scaffold pole.
    Good luck!

      [Sad face] remeasured, recalculated, and there is just no way the AJ30 engine is going in. I'd need an extra 60mm at the front width, or have to loose a bunch of footwell to shove the engine further back.
      So, forced to relinquish my madness, ST170 and RX8 box purchased.
