if its a mk 2 its pretty straight forward but if its a mk1 its a lil more involved but still not too hard, as im sure yours is a mk2 being a 85 (b,c) iirc u just need to swap everythin from an rs over using mk2 cvh mounts
you want to fit an rst engine into a mk2 fiesta pal?
yes lots of people have done this, but you would need the mounts to fit the mentioned engine and box, alot easier to fit efi engines than the mfi due to space with the metering unit

of course i have the mounts of the rst engine....but as i did with escort need some modifyes to fit correctly....but still...i forgot the ignition...ke-jetronic were should i put it....nobody has some link with pictures???'

You'll need:
1. 1.6 CVH engine mount (standard Fiesta MK2 XR2)
2. 1.6 gearbox cradle (sits lower than on non-XR2 engines)
3. both front tie bars with brackets
4. Fiesta alternator and alternator bracket (underhung type)
5. injection tank (was available for 1.4i) or a swirl pot
6. much time and many minor parts.
And as mentioned above you can find some conversions on www.xrtwo.com
