Modify the engine which may cost a lot to return a little or modfiy the car the take a better engine. I favour plan B as did our customer when he brought in his Morris Minor. Various options were discussed but a Ford Zetec 2.0l from a Mondeo was the power plant of choice.\u00a0 Rear wheel drive conversions with this engine are well documented and it&#8217;s a nice tractable and readily available engine so all we had to do was work out how to make it fit!<\/p>\n<p>There were a few small problems such as the steering rack being in the way and the engine bay not being long enough but as each challenge develops so do the solutions. It&#8217;s lovely watching a project like this grow. There&#8217;s still a long way to go but here&#8217;s a few snaps of the story so far.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-168\" title=\"DSCF1573\" src=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/DSCF1573-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1573\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/DSCF1573-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/DSCF1573-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"DSCF1574\" src=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/DSCF1574-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1574\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-170\" title=\"DSCF1568\" src=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/DSCF1568-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1568\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/DSCF1568-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/DSCF1568-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story begines on an engine swap for a lovely old Morris Minor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[106,28,4,3],"tags":[115,52,53,51,34],"class_list":["post-167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aa-sport","category-garage-services","category-general","category-projectcars","tag-classic","tag-engine-swap","tag-ford-zetec","tag-morris-minor","tag-shell-preparation"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":172,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167\/revisions\/172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
