Zetec Silvertop (a.k.a. ZX1) for sale (and some parts)

[slomove]

You may have seen in some other posts that I destroyed my old Zetec ZX1 and replaced it with a "new" Zetec SVT engine.

 

That leaves me with another ZX1 engine (from a '96 Ford Contour) that I have in reserve as a spare donor and can not use anymore. So, I am selling it (all prices plus shipping)

 

This is an engine taken out of a crashed car with 56,000 miles in excellent condition, containing lots of difficult to get parts. It is completely disassembled to the last bolt and washer, cleaned, wax conserved, bagged and labeled. I put probably 10 hours of work into the dis-assembly and packaging.

 

I paid $700 for the engine to the junk yard and that is what I am asking for it. I am not interested in selling it piecewise (but if somebody does not want to have some heavy parts shipped, I will just put them in the trash).

 

I also have some other spare parts or parts removed off my old engine that may be of interest:

 

- brand new right spinning coolant pump with ribbed pulley from a European Escort (the Contour had a left spinning coolant pump and a smooth pulley for the back side of the serpentine belt). Some of the early Birkins (maybe before 2000) had that short triangle belt configuration that needs such a pump. $70

 

- used right spinning coolant pump as explained above $30

 

- used oil pump with approx. 20,000 miles $30

 

- Complete head with valve drop damage to #2, shaved to 10.6 compression, ported with Kent FZ2002 cams, upgraded springs, pretty new valves (except the damaged ones). Engine builder told me it could be repaired but might be expensive and no guarantee. The cams are probably the more interesting part of it. Make an offer if interested

 

I also have some questionable parts to give away. Let me know if somebody is interested. May be only relevant for local pickup due to shipping cost. Otherwise they will go to the junk yard.

 

- Engine block in excellent condition. Slightly bored and honed about 20,000 miles ago. Needs larger pistons than stock.

- Crank, ground for new bearings 20,000 miles ago
