S reg 1.25 zetec
Hello guys, just bought a new run around, its a 1998 Fiesta zetec 1.25.
Just wondered how difficult would it be to drop a 1.8 or 2lt zetec in it?
Its bog standard looking but I figure will be a touch of fun with a bigger lump.
Any ideas??
Cheers, Mike

puma engine is alot easier, goes on the same engine mounts as the 1.25 zetec, alot of the wiring matches up too
look on ebay for someone breaking a puma or my mate is selling a fiesta shell with 1.7 puma engine in with all the running gear and loom still in the shell ready for an easy transplant in to a 1.25

Insurance isnt a problem, I'm over 30 with plenty of no claims, I'm just thinking about making this zero f*cks given run around a little more fun.
Thanks for the advice guys, I was hoping someone would come on here and say the 1.8 or 2lt blacktop would drop straight in lol wishful thinking...
