Default duratec 2.0 in ford fiesta mk6?

hello. How complicated is it to put a Duratec 2.0 engine in a Fiesta Mk6 with a Rocam 1.6 engine?

I ask more than anything because as far as I understand it is not very modifiable, let's say the 1.6 8-valve engine that comes with this car and I have heard that it is not very difficult to put that engine in this car (comparing it with other engines like the SR20 or the k20), and with that the doubt arose as to how complicated or feasible it is to put that engine in this car

Depends on which country you live in. When you're talking about the 2002-2008 Fiesta... why bothering. Buy a whole Fiesta ST.
2008-2017 Fiesta: it can be done but electrics will be a nightmare and there are no engine mounts to fit the engine AND the body shell.

Well, in fact, it is a 2003 Fiesta, Pence wanted a good idea since the Duratec 2.0 engines can be obtained for a low price (more or less what a turbo kit costs), and well, getting a Fiesta ST150 would be great, but only 300 units arrived in the country so it is practically impossible to get one

Many Fiesta ST suffer from engine failures nowadays. Best would be to buy a whole ST with a dead engine and rebuild it.

The Duratec-HE won't fit to the "old" Ford gearbox bellhousing stud pattern, so you'll need a Duratec-HE gearbox PLUS Ford shortened the bellhousing to make the engine fit into the MK6 engine bay. These gearboxes were just used in the MK6 ST. Gearbox and engine mounts are MK6 ST only and electrics/wiring on such a modern car will be a pain in the arse.

El Duratec-HE no se ajusta al patrón de pernos del campanario de la caja de cambios Ford "antiguo", por lo que necesitará una caja de cambios Duratec-HE ADEMÁS, Ford acortó el campanario para que el motor encaje en el compartimiento del motor MK6. Estas cajas de cambios se acaban de utilizar en el MK6 ST. Los soportes de la caja de cambios y del motor son solo MK6 ST y la electricidad y el cableado en un automóvil tan moderno serán un dolor de cabeza.
My original plan was to take the engine from some Ecosport of the same year. But if I'm going to have to adapt the gearbox anyway, I'd better look for another car. Buying a fiesta st here is really not a viable option.
