Default RST in a Mk1 Fiesta van

I'm looking to put a RST engine from my mk3 fiesta into a mk1 fiesta van. Can anyone tell me if I need to cut the bulk head and or any mods to the inner arches? cheers.

You will need a conversion plate to fit the cvh engine mount, you can get these from the fiesta centre

if you plan on putting the 5 speed box in you will also need to cut and modify the n/s chassis leg, but again there is a kit available to buy for this
