It also has to be straight forward to fit as it's got to be done on the drive
Engine bay is too small for 5-speed boxes. Without doing any modifications to the bodywork you'll have to stick with a 4-speed BC.
No Zetec, no ECU and straigt fit means:
any standard MK1 and MK2 Fiesta engine. CVH 2V (XR2/XR3, XR3i MFI with XR2/XR3 carb) might be the cheapest option for most power
