Thanks for the info.
Do you know what model box is in the Mondeo sci? I need to be able to buy the nice bits like LSD and a gearkit.
If not then I will make an adaptor plate to fit the st170 6 speed.
The duratec isn't 'much' wider (from what I remember) than my pug unit as it doesn't use a can belt and the cam chain in much more compact.
I'm pretty good at shoehorning big engines into little cars, I used to work at Westfield sportcars.
Ther is a guy on one of the pug forums who's fitting a Zetec turbo to his 106 so if the duratec idea fails I'll go for something like that.
