If you find a low km's motor, make sure to do a compression test to it before doing anything. as long as compression is good on the motor and ofcourse fuel pump is proper for the application you should have no issues with the kit and tuning.
best of luck leo and if you ever need a hand swapping in another motor let me know.
i have seen a few low km zetec on kijiji... check em out and do a compression test when you get the funds to do so.
thing is though, low km is very hard to find and if there is, it is 250km away from my place. and price was close to 500+..
then i might need to do timing belt changes, water pump and other stuff..then i figure buying brand new engine from the seller on kijiji will save me more money..
trying to sell stuff but seems like no one is interested..
Try Hilltop Autowreckers in Aurora. Like I told you already, they sold me my engine for 400+ tax (500) and delivered it to the shop that did the engine swap. The engine had 40 000km (actual 398xx) too so it was very low mileage (and was out of an 04)
