Did a search of Ztech with no hits. So.... just returned from JY. Saw an Escort DOHC Ztech engine. Is this one of a family of engines suitable for a Festiva swap? First glance makes me think it's a bit too long (wide?)

Ztech are a ford engine, not mazda, I don't think it will bolt to the g25r tranny. -
try spelling it Zetec.
and Gforcefd is correct, it's a Ford of Europe engine, made in Brazil. No relation to the Mazda B-seriesJim DeAngelis

??? no.
I can probably still find the names of the engineers that designed it back in the very late 80's / early 90's. I had a lot of powertrain engineers in my contact lists when I was at Ford.Jim DeAngelis

Heh heh.... Jim's only "slow" when his foot is on the brake pedal!
Heck, I was thinking "V-tach", like in Ventricular Tachycardia... not too good!!

no, but it could have something to do with all that antifreeze I used to drink...Originally posted by sam.1956 View Post
The microwave isn't tied to the garage door opener (yet), but I did replace the TV remote with a stun gun... It's fun to watch him try to change the channel!Jim DeAngelis

Stun Gun as TV remote, AKA: "Let's see what's on The De-fib Channel..." ZZZAP!
I'd keep an eye out on the Festiva, if I were you. Might find all 4 tires Poli-Gripped to the asphalt one day.
Ahhh, yes the good old daze: ethelyne glycol with a brake fluid chaser. Brain Freeze for dat red-hot meat!
