Call around to the shops in your area. My son lives in Peterborough, and his buddies Uncle is a mechanic. I'll talk to my son to see if he can get the mechanics number. Just a question, won't you need an ECU from a Zetec as well?

What about the drive train and other then the ecu do I need to change any other wiring or parts, from what I know is the motor mounts and ecu are the only thing.

If you're ATX, I believe you're fine. If you're running the IB5 manual, you'll need a MTX75 transmission for the Zetec motor.

if your swapping from the SPI to the zetec, you'll need the complete engine harness, as alot of the sensors and wire locations and completly different ... its not just a simple plug and play swap along with the ecu and pcm

if i were you i'd just send that zetec back and search for another spi motor .. unless your not in a hurry
