HI LADS

Im wanting a 1600 fwd XR2 crossflow for my mk1 fiesta but as you can imagine trying to find an engine is turning out to be a bloody nightmare but this is really the engine i want to build into a 1660 with side draft webers etc etc to releive my youth !

The thing is ive been told silvertop mondeo 2.0 Zetec is a good alternative but what work is needed in fitting this to a MK1 Fiesta and am i going to spend a lot of other money on parts such as loom, mounts gearboxs or do i drive 5 and a half hours each way to pick up MK1 XR2 engine and gearbox its dooing my bloody head in !!!!

The cross flow in my eyes feel is more suited to the old school image of my car whats all your thoughts
