As we stand at the moment, off the top of my head it needs: - Exhaust finishing (Joe's doing that now)
- Front suspension building (including a bracket for the front right tie bar) - I'm off to collect the hubs with new bearings.
- Fuel tank swap, pump and plumbing to install
- Engine to complete cambelt change
- Pedal box and steering column/wheel to install
And then it's pushable - all that remains is all the wiring, handbrake, brake pipes, master cylinder, interior, instrumentation, radio, dash... Neil

Re: the Crossflow - it was the Mk1 Fiesta that used the Crossflow engine, and as Neil has said above the donor car (which is a Mk2 Fiesta) has the CVH engine.

Now you have the engine in.Can you tell me if the engine is sitting at all the same angle's and degree's as it would in a Coupe? If not,what problems do you both invisage haveing? ie the oil pump and its distribution of the oil etc. Also where is the Battery going to be?

If not,what problems do you both invisage haveing? ie the oil pump and its distribution of the oil etc. Also where is the Battery going to be? I can answer a few of these. Yes the orientation is exactly the same as if fitted to a coupe so we haven't had to make any changes to the oil pickup pipe. Battery is being moved to the rear as we're tight for space under the bonnet, the smic still needs fitting as well as all the induction pipework. All the wiring including the ecu are being refitted to save on having to rewire the loom, in my opinion this is an easy job as Neil's doing it Update for night is at 9.45pm the Quantum was wheeled off the ramp, all mounts finished and the suspension components rebuilt to make it free wheeling, the exhaust system is finished and I've managed to refit and adapt a standard downpipe with space to spare so that's saved lots of time on fabrication, Jobs still left to do are the steering coloum, brake master, pedal box, dash and wiring but the main ones will be tackled first and we'll trial run the engine as soon as we can. This project for me has been great fun, we've probably put the best part of 100hrs work in over the past 7 days, there's been plenty of head scratching to get round problems but the end result sees a 20vt engine nicely fitted into a frame that was never intended for such a power plant, it's different and a one off so it's right up my steet Cheers Neil

And cheers to Joe for a week of unfailing patience and enthusiasm. (to the pigeons) Stop shagging on my roof you baa-lambs! (to the swallows nesting in the shop) Stop laughing! The photos are being uploaded now. There are a hundred and sixty to plough through, so for now they're going on http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t31/nailed_barnacle/Quantum%20engine/ until I get around to captioning them. Neil

A truly cracking project and its being finished to a silly high standard. That little quantum is going to be truly insane with the 20vt and sound stunning, especially with no roof! Neil, If I need any technical drawings for a project, im coming to you
