Has anybody ever put a 2.5 v6 out off a mondeo in a mk1 fiesta?

 

probably not and for good reason i'd imagine

 

Why? Got the mk1 and could get the v6, seen some good 2.0 zetec mk1's today

Need a positive direction and to stop thinking maybe this maybe that!!

 

Dont bother, not the best engine imo.

 

Its a v.heavy engine in a v.light car. It would just understeer at the sight of a corner

 

why not stick it in but make the car rwd

 

RWD was always on the cards but with pinto power! but after seeing the zetec mk1's shift today im a wee bit torn!

 

seeing as it's too big an engine to fit inside a mk escort engine bay i think you are on a hding to nothing



this was recently on the bay and i have seen it in the flesh as top boss did the wiring instal on it a few years ago

 

pointless, heavy under-powered over-sized engine, expensive to run and won't fit in a fiesta without mega re-working, and then will make a vr6 mk2 golf look like a perfectly balanced car

Stick a Heyabusa turbo engine in it with the sequential box .... or a zetec turbo

 

Who says its underpowered? The V6 Mondeo I had was just over 185bhp with a few mods, and as for expensive to run, no more so than any other V6,

 

Thanks for the thougts, Its a mk1 FIESTA tho

Looks like the 2.0 zetec for me tho, FWD this/early next year then see how much fun it is!

get onto xrtwo.com! theres a chap on there with one in a mk2 fiesta & iirc reckons it's suprisingly fairly straight forward.

 

pointless conversion.... V6 mondeos are cheap as no one wants them, little power for the expense.....

 

A mate of mine has almost finished fitting one in a Mk3 2i. Ill see if i can get some pics.

 

Yeah that would be great mate.

 

On there mate, it seems pretty straigt forward, seen a couple now and one chop in the ns chassis leg then build the engine to your spec, get the mounts sorted and jobs a good un!
