I'm after putting a mondeo V6 into my fiesta, do you know if they will go onto a fiesta box, and if so do I need a 1.8 clutch??

Thanks

Dave

 

nope, different bellhousing bolt patterns. and no the 1.8 clutch is too small. you need to go v6 mtx75 gearbox

 

So if i get a fresh 2.0 blacktop and use a 1.8 sump and clutch I should be alright?

 

Not quite a v6 then!, you need 1.8 sump, flywheel and clutch, then it will work

 

fancy a daft engine but dont like the way turbos drive

 

go the v6 route with the v6 mtx75 gearbox would be good to see

 

or 6 speed from the st220

 

I'd love to do that, I just can't weld. I can do everything else mechanically, its just welding I struggle with.

 

You need to use the mondeo box. My mates got a V6 powered Xr2i on omex

 

did it go in as a unit on custom mounts and shafts

 

He had to make custom engine mounts and cut the panel in the front arch to clear the gearbox. I think he is going to turbo charge it this year aswell.

 

yeah i thought it'd need a lot of work

 

as said v6 mtx75 gearbox and then get custom shafts made.
if you get it to locate like my frs box on my zetec xr2 then i'll give you sizes of driveshafts to get made up if that helps at all.

 

thats cool, thankyou. I'll have a look and see how much engines are

 

The engine management will be the biggest challenge/expense.

 

Yeah, the plan was always to do the mechanicals and then give it somewhere to put a loom and management on

 

custom mounts and shafts are a bit beyond me i think. My car has a 2ltr already, but the engine is a duffer and missing 75% of its bits. Am planning on pulling it out at the weekend and finding another focus 2.0, a friend has already welded 2.0 mounts in for me so i guess i may as well go with that.
