At Stoneleigh, Powertorque were offering them off at £795 new but not sure if the offer still stands.

I bought a 2 litre black top from Power Torque at Stoneleigh for £650 with no added vat. Delivery was £55. Engine is even filled with oil, I couldn't believe it. The only thing is that although the engines are new they were built some time ago but it is stored in a special protective bag that has left it rust free and in as manufactured condition.

After reviewing the Blacktop Zetec fitting, unfortunately I'm gonna have to find another 2 litre silvertop to replace my severly damaged existing motor.
I thought the Oil filter mount looked different, though I use an escort zetec oil pump because of the different angle of the output flange.
The waterpump and belt arrangement also looks different, which means sadly that I'm gonna have to stick with a Silvertop engine, otherwise I have extensive mods to make to enable a Blacktop to fitfrown
On my installation the area around the oil filter mount is crammed with stuff - [Alternator, Oil pressure switch. steering column, and the aforementioned oil filter] all fighting for the small amount of space available.
Thanks for the replies
Mal
ps
Anyone know of a good [or new] 2 litre Silvertop engine for sale?
