Default Fiesta MK6, 4x4, Focus RS Engine

Hi guys.

Just got me a fiesta MK6 in black and was wondering if someone could shed some light on my project.

I want to use a focus RS engine and make the car 4x4.

How much work is needed to fit the Engine? and what will i need to do to make it 4x4?

Someone suggested the Mondeo 4x4 running gear. is it a good idea?

Cheers Guys

escort rs2k transmission might be easier to get hold of mate, similar stuff. its not that strong though, think anything close to 300bhp and you'll be chewing it up.

definatly doable! crack on and keep the pics coming!

I would say the Mondeo gaer was no good as the torque split is in favour of the front wheels. I would stick the FRS engine in and tune it. 4x4 really isn't all the nessecary
