We did that one just by fitting the engine in and modifying the bits
that were too close.
You do have to cut the top side rail before the engine will fit it, tack
weld in a temporary diagonal tube from the suspension turret to further
across the front top rail to stop things moving while you redo the top
side rail.
Rather than cutting out and replacing the lower side chassis rail where
it needs to clear the crank pulley we just cut the side off the tube and
then plated it back over with 3mm steel, then added an extra tube above it.
Somebody else did have dimensioned drawings from when they had done the
conversion but i can't think where they are at the moment.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the advice. I've been looking on your Quantum website and
have been trying to study the Engine transplant photo's re: RS1800i
Zetec into Quantum 2+2 - Did you modify the frame purely by offering
up the replacement engine or was it done to "Quantum's" dimensions?
Cheers,
Keith

I doubt if Quantum have one in stock but they should have the
drawings and be able to make one.
But, it’s bound to be far in excess of the cost of getting your one
modified.
Remember the spaceframe is bonded to the bulkhead so it may not come
off easily, and can damaged the bulkhead gelcoat if you apply too
much force.

*Subject:* [Quantum Owners] Front chassis for a 2+2
Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to get hold of the front chassis
for a 2+2 which is designed to take the Zetec Engine?
I'm changing my 2+2 from a 1.6 CVH to a 2.0 Zetec and thought it
might be easier to just unbolt the existing framework and replace it
with the correctly shaped one, rather than cutting and welding the
original.
Has anyone got one lying around they no longer need / want or want to
swap for a CVH frame?
Cheers,
Keith
