Looking to do the conversion this year, was after some advice on the best way to go about what's needed.
Is any puma engine suitable? Are there different versions is what i mean.
Are any additional parts needed that aren't already fitted to a fiesta or puma?
Are the zetec s and 1.7 looms plug n play when swapped over?
Will my fiesta exhaust fit the 1.7 manifold?
Thanks in advance
Kyle

 

Remember not all pumas are 1.7, try get the tape ecu it makes the car pop and bang with a stainless exhaust

You need to rewire the reverse light and front fogs on the conversion but there was a guide of zsoc so is pretty easy

I’d change the timing belt before you fit engine and clutch aswell

 

Forgot to add you need the engine loom, key and transponder ring for ignition, also need to mod the fuel lines, exhaust I can’t remember if the manifold is different.

Get the puma gearbox aswell it has shorter gear ratios to the 1.6 fiesta, if you can be bothered fit the 1.6 final drive gears into the 1.7 gearbox, it gives a final drive of 4.25 and makes some difference to the little cars.

 

Thanks for the advice, I'm thinking of getting a complete car so i have all the bits but mainly so i can actually see it running before hand.

 

They are great engines and can take a beating
