Hello.

Just moved house and got myself a garage so now I can start working on cars for the first time in my life.

I have always longed to have space to work on cars and bikes as a hobby but never had the privilege until now.

So I bought a wee Ford Ka and plan to put a bigger engine into it.

I eventually decided to go for a 1.8 engine out of a Ford Focus (primarily to keep costs down as it uses the same gearbox as the 1.3 Ka).

I dont want massive power, just want a nice project car; something to work on and be driveable at the end of the day and if the idea falls through or whatever; something that is not going to cost me a fortune.... just a nice cheap project.

I have removed the Ka engine, and just waiting on delivery of the Focus engine, but I was wondering what else I will need to make it run ?

The only parts missing from the (1.8 Focus) engine are alternator, starter motor and air-con (dont need this anyway) and power steering pump.

I have all these parts on my Ka engine though. Could I use these with the focus engine ?

Cheers in advance for your help.
