. . Zetec in T25

Hi, has anyone had experience or heard of a . . Zetec 16v (petrol) fitted into a T25? I currenly have a 1.9DG water cooled in my van, looking to increase pulling power with something bit more reliable and modern. I have a good friend who has used this lump in an MGBGT and does his own fabrication so this part is ot too much of an issue but wondered if this conversion has been done before. to keep it simple though i wouuld be looking at running carbs on it. any help, tips etc would be great thanks.

Get on the Vanagon/Eurovan forum at http://www.thesamba.com
Guys on there are doing them under the guise of a weird name for the conversion (like Boscom or something).

The F..d is a very short engine and goes under a standard hatch bolt upright, I believe. But it's a F..d
Why not a VW inline 4? All the wiring has been sussed and it uses diesel mounting hardware and plumbing. VW lego!
FWIW, I would like to put modern efi (like Megasquirt) on a wbx. It would perk up a 1.9 and make a 2.1 usefully more economical. Just a thought.
