Default ka engine swap

hiya

im new to this so please move this if its in the wrong place! I have an st170, but also an old ka 1.3, and have been eyeing up an engine swap to make something a bit different. I was looking in fast ford etc and have seen a few engine swaps.

I know the ka uses the IB5 box, but the mounts appear different to those in the mk4 fez and puma. Ideally I'd like to put a 2.0ltr from focus/mondeo etc in but then would have driveshaft problems. I know somewhere like pumaspeed can do it for me but this is a bit of project and i have loads of spare time.

If anyone can help with which engines are the easiest to put in I'd really appreciate it, hot fav at the mo is a 1700 puma engine with the pssenger side inner wing changed to accept the mount from the puma, do driveshafts go in ok from the puma IB5?

thanks a lot

dave
