The Ford Zetec is long-established as a great kitcar engine but it’s also a popular unit for transplanting into earlier rear wheel drive Fords, as well as other makes and models. Burton Power can offer numerous parts to make this operation feasible.
One such item is the Raceline Water Rail. These are designed to simplify the cooling system and plumbing of the engine when installed in-line in an RWD car. The Zetec engine has water outlets at the back of the head, which in most RWD applications, foul the bulkhead if the original outlet housings are retained.
The water rail is designed with a narrow profile and transfers this outlet to the front of the engine so that the plumbing is simpler and neater. Water outlet is via a crossflow thermostat housing which is also available from Burton Power as is a dedicated fitting kit.
