Zetec Conversion Parts Wanted

[the_rainman]

Hello everyone...

 

I am finally a Caterham 7 owner after almost 40 years of wanting one! I bought one from Dick Brink in Arlington Texas. Every owner i have talked to so far has been very available and helpul. I can already see that this is a tight knit community and i want especially to meet with all the other 7 owners in the Metroplex general area!

 

A little about the car itself first......its a 1988 Caterham 7 with De Dion and LSD, uprated suspension and radiator... frame, etc are all in good shape...the car is now engineless...

 

The car also came with a Quaif Racing transmission with close ratio gears. The gears are likely of the sycro type but we do not know that to be a fact, nor do we know the ratios at this point. What we do know is that the transmission performs perfectly and shifts smoothly. The gears will of course handle very high torque engines which I am not planning to have at this point. The tranny is very good if you want to shift fast! I am

wanting to swap the Quaif tranny for someones stock T9 tranny + $$, or to find someone that will just buy the Quaif alone without a swap. We will have more info on the exact gear ratios shortly.

 

I will be buying a stock 2.0 Zetec from Dick with a Dunnell sump on it...we will stick with fuel injection and Dick has the wiring loom...other than a lightened flywheel i will be sticking with a stock head, intake and ECU for the first build of the car...

 

We are looking for the following parts for the 88 Caterham using a stock Zetec 2.0 and T9 tranny...

 

1) Wanting to arrange either a) the sale of the Quaif Racing transmission or b) the swap of the Quaif Racing transmission for a T9 tranny (in good condition) + $$

 

2) Headers for a Zetec 2.0

 

3) Clutch cable (for Caterham)

 

4) Bellhousing (for Caterham)

 

5) Throw out bearing for bellhousing

 

6) Starter that bolts to bellhousing

 

7) High pressure fuel pump (plus the other items needed to convert a carbed

car to EFI)

 

8) O2 Sensor

 

That's what we need at the moment.
