Unless you just love to do big jobs on cars why don't you consider buying another car that already has the engine you want? I'm lazy so that's what I'd do. :2cents:

i always thought the 1.6/1.8 and 2.0l zetecs were the same block, cant you just change heads?

Same block doesn't mean same cylinder bore. :2cents:

i think zx2srdotnet meant bore it out then change the heads still cheaper then getting a new engine id think (if it is the same block)
