Hello, Im new to this forum and fords pretty much even though its all my dad and granda drives. Ive always had starlets and my 4x4 turbo one was my favourite.

All I want to know is does a 2.5 v6 mondeo/probe engine fit into a fiesta engine bay and what cutting needs done if any?

I know it will handle shite but im doin it for the novelty, havent seen it done before.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Cheers, Ryan

I know someone who put a 2.0 mondeo in a fiesta. It was one of them bubble si fiestas, i dont know how he did it tho, but it was rapid! The dumb arse didnt sort out his suspension or summet for the extra weight tho and basicly it just dropped in the end. Spent loads on that and ruined it, ended up with a little crappy citroen.

 

You do realise Mk3 and Mk3.5 Fiestas came fitted with 1.6 and 1.8 Zetecs, the 2.0 is pretty much a straight swap. Many people have done this and there is no need to uprate the suspension.

 

anything can be fiited! depending on how skilled your are or how deep your pockets are!

2ltr is an easy conversion todo, can be down in a weekend. loads of info on Fiesta-si.com

 

Hello and welcome to pf

 

The V6 engine will JUST fit into a focus engine bay, so I imagine squeezing it into a fiesta bay will be a no-go, unless you are prepared to do some serious modification to the bodyshell!

 

in the projects sections someone did a v6 ka, but used an omega engine as the mondeo ones just too big.

 

Im just saying what i have been told. And it was a 1.4 si model

 

Yes it will, its already been done, there is a MK3 fiesta with a 2.5 V6 Duratec in it, as for cutting etc, couldnt tell you.

 

welcome mate
any thing can be made to fit, jut depends on how much money and skill you have got

 

Do you know were I could find out about it, or talk to the fella that did it? Cheers anyway im gonna go ahead and do it now that I know someones got one in.

 

If i remember correctly, the lad who did it isnt on here, but his pal is, think it was his pal who posted pics of it. ill go see if i can find the thread now mate.

 

Rite, here's the thread with pics of the fiesta V6 in it. as i said, its a freind of the guy who posted the pics. drop him a PM see if he can help.

Also says this about the conversion in the thread,

'From what he explained to me he had to fabricate some engine mounts, move radiator forward and cut the slam panel slightly to fit it. Then a bit of messing about to get the hydraulic clutch system plumbed in and that was about it really.'

 

good job, cheers mate.

 

some one on xrtwo.com fitted a v6 engine in a mk2 fiesta, it was still fwd aswell, looked really good when it was done
