A request: Zetec swap info

[Pete Gossett]

I'd like to post a request for details on the Zetec swap. I've found bits & pieces in the archives and through Google, but I'm still unclear on a few points:

Which year(s) Zetec require the least modification to swap?

Are there other Zetec years which offer benefits worth considering?

It seems like there are multiple solutions to the clutch/pilot/throw-out bearing, starter, and water pump. What are the trade offs of each?

I know some of this is documented very well, but I'd like to help create more of a step-by-step document. Of course, I've yet to even turn a wrench on mine!

Pete I have a lot of information on my Zetec conversion. I'll pull the information together and get it posted.

Joe, I believe you may have posted on the yahoo list, but would you mind sharing cost details of the Zetec swap?

I'm trying for an apples-to-apples cost vs. performance analysis of rebuilding the Twink vs. a Zetec or other swap.

Sure, let me pull my information together
