wow thats incredible!

i wanted to put an n/a 2.0 zetec in totally standard for with the theory being if i blew it up, its dead easy to go and find another 2.o lump. Do you know if the 2.0 litre mtx75 gearbox will accept the driveshafts from the ka/fiesta/puma/IB5 platform?

If not, would the hubs need changing to mondeo parts? Or would you need suspension componentry from a mondeo? Or would it be easier to A/ get driveshafts made or B/ use an engine like the 1700cc puma lump that uses the ib5 anyway

I'd love to put a cvh/zvh in put am struggling to afford the parts to get a decent turbo engine together, I was hoping a 130bhp would still be okish to drive? The car is a bit of a cheap project and I've got it stripped and everything, just doing bits as I get 30 quid here and there etc

any help is greatly appreciated and thanks a lot
