Hello John,
I've fitted a silvertop to a saloon & a blacktop to a 2+2 both using the
standard XR2 BC gearbox (front starter motor) Neither I noticed seems to
move the gearbox over to the inner wing area.
I had spoken to someone who started to fit a complete Focus Zetec & 6 speed
box to a 2+2 and
Sorry, i don't know.
I would think it's fairly likely, Ford don't tend to change things
unless they have to.

That rings a bell, i'm sure it's Vibra tech mount that came with and are
now fitted to the saloon, certainly an improvement.

On the silver top Zetec the CVH pulley fits straight on, just needing a
spacer to align it with the alternator.

Thanks for the info Jim. Sounds like V belt drive is worthy exploring.
What did you do for crankshaft pulley?

The 6 speed box is narrower as it has twin output shafts (internally)
with 3 gears on each rather than one shaft with 5 (or 6) gears on.
6th is about the same ratio as 5th on a 5 speed box so unless you like
changing gear or have an engine with a narrow power band i don't think
it's worth it.
Thanks for the pics Russ - very nice - looks like a super neat conversion.

to fabricate some mounting hardware (never seen any advertised for Mk

If it's of any use, I had a lot of movement in my engine mounts on the black
top zetec turbo on my xtreme. I had up to 20mm movement on the track.
Eventually I bit the bullet and bought the vibra technical mounts. Cannot speak
highly enough of them. Virtually no movement and great damping. Howe
