So you built an entire "bullet-proof" bottom end for under a grand! (block, crank, rods, pistons, bearings, etc)

Please let me know where you found all these exceptionally cheap parts. Heck let EVERY Zetec owner know I am sure they would all love to be building engines for under a grand.


Heck it's hard to build a solid Duratec (whole engine) for much under $1200 and that uses stock rods & pistons. (though both have supported over 400 HP & 8k+ rpm so...)

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
