Exclamation Ford Fiesta mk4 ideas...?

Hey Guys,

i have a mk4 ford fiesta 1995 and im wanting to do a complete mechanical change....

i was wondering whether you guys could help me out in deciding which options would be the most beneficial route to take, in terms of expenditures and the power/speed output...

i want to change the engine completely but am troubled by what to put in it..... a 1.7 puma...?? 2.0L zetec...?? a 1600 crossover idea was thrown my way aswell...?? which would be the best task to undertake but with minimal structural changes....??

any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

Look on the fast ford magazine web site.Im sure there is a guide on ther on how to do it


It would be ideal to buy a complete car then swap all the bits over.
