I need a complete motor with matching head, preferably a Focus motor but it doesn't really matter. Hopefully with lower miles.
It doesn't need any accesories if you feel like keeping them.

why a focus motor? you'll throw a cel with no vct, then on top of that you'll be plugging up the egr. The fuel rail is different too, and most of the brackets are diff, you'll be swapping alot from your blown motor just to get this to work. Be easiet finding a focus head and zx2 bottom end.

A focus motor because I won't have to delete VCT with a zx2 head. The oil journals are different between the two blocks so I'd want a matching block, I know what it takes to make it work. The SVT motor is MI, that's a little far from here and I don't want that compression ratio for turbo.

I may have a motor tomorrow, but I'm not sure. Either way I still want a Focus motor.

focus and zx2 blocks are identical, the heads are different, the zx2 head has a oil journal feeding the vct, the focus does not. For 50 bucks you can get vct deleted, or for few hundred you can get a focus block, doesn't make sense.
Zx2 head will bolt to a focus block, a focus head will bolt to a zx2 block. Whomever has told you differently is wrong. The only differences in the blocks are the svt model has oil squirters under each piston, mountune cgi block, and cosworth cgi block (has linears), and wrc block (solid code with cnc'd oil passages - a very milled down block)

thats the block optioins for the series 3 zetec.

There are also some differences between block and heads between some of the years. You can help me find a block w/head or you can stop telling me things I don't already know Jarred. I need a new block, I want a matching head. I want a Focus motor so I don't have to pay to delete VCT, I want cheaper cams because I won't have to order an exhuast cam specific to the zx2 and I want to use a Focus valve cover. (Just in case you didn't know you can't use it on a zx2 because of the vct.)

cams are about the same price for the zx2's head as the focus, plus if your turbo'ing your best off with a stock cam anyhow. So basicly your getting a focus motor to get a cam cover and vct delete, which your going to end buying a cam gear anyways, so the vct delete adapter is a whole wopping 30 bucks.

The motors are all the same through out the years unless your looking a contour motor wich is a gen 2 zetec, gen 1 was never released in the U.S.

I'll see what I can find for you, but I really think in the end your wasting your money on finding a focus engine. If you want a focus head that bad and want to burn your money that bad, get a ford racing cnc'd head or a svt focus head and get it pnp'd by focus sport, you'll have to get lower cpr pistons though. The cc chamber of the svt head is 8 cc's different. Supposely the svt head can out perform the fr head.

There's a difference between the heads for 98 zx2s and 99 zx2s and it has to do with the tensioner for the timing belt. There are more differences than you think. Considering I need a complete engine because mine is seized I can get a complete Focus engine for the same price as a zx2 engine. I can get turbo cams for the Focus cheaper than I can find turbo cams for a zx2 because the zx2 exhaust cam is made different.

turbo cam's? the stock cams are good for 300 whp on a turbo motor!

The tensioners are different, not the blocks! tensioners swap out.

Maybe 300whp isn't my goal, and this thread has done nothing to help me find a block and head combo.
There is also a oil journal difference between the 98 and 99 blocks.
