anything is possible with the know how as seen plenty of v6s in mk6 escorts over the years, better engine choices out there though with less size, fabrication and money

a well tuned zetec can knock on the door of 200hp and wont involve hacking hell out engine bay/firewall to fit, thats just one option plenty more if you ask the right people

I was looking into the zetec conversion seems pretty simple, just thought I would be something a little different.

its one of those things if you already have the parts and the ability then why not but if going out to source such parts it will cost more than you think, theres a reason its not that common to do a v6 conversion on a mk6 mainly its a real pain in the ass to do for not a lot of power and the engine bay is cramped for space

The 220 is 3L. Im sure you could probably get it in the bay but for the cost just build a zetec turbo.
