Engine Arrives


Monday marked the long-awaited arrival of the engine, a 4-cylinder 2.0 litre 16V Ford Zetec. Zetecs were made for cars like the Ford Focus and Contour, and the Mercury Mystique of the late 1990's and early 2000's. Numbers on the block will reveal which model and year. More recently it was built up as a spare engine for a Formula Ford Sports Racer, but never actually installed. After that it was accidentally swapped with another Zetec and shipped to a racing team in Australia. The recipient quickly realized the mistake and mailed it back. Now it rests in my garage awaiting its proper place in a real car.
