My Cabrio Ebay purchase is making very slow progress-I have decided that the engine is not worth rescuing since it had been stored underwater!My first thought was BMW but then I started worrying about the weight-so I am now looking at Zetec and Duratec. Are there any problems waiting to bite me with either of these engines?
As Chris says cost is an issue with the Zetec or Duratec route but if you go that way let me know as I have an MT75 hydraulic clutch 5 speed box that has done 2000 miles (supplied new by Marlin) and set up for the Marlin chassis with the correct prop output flange which is surplus to requirements.
