I put a vauxhall v6 into a ka which is about the same size as a puma bay, a mondeo v6 is way too big for a ka bay, IIRC the mondeo v6 engine is 60 inches front to back.
Although the v6 is hell of a laugh you'd be better of with a 2.0, it fits so much easier in the bay with room for a big rad

Where's the rad?

engine bay in a puma is bigger than a KA and a tigra 
Still a mondeo V6 would be a tight squeeze.
IMO it isnt worth it for the power youd get, even an ST220 lump. A modded 2.0/2.3 duratec I4 on throttle boddies would be nice for a track car and being all alloy wouldnt fuck up the handling balance too much.

I had shafts made in a local company, they're vaux inners, ford outers on a tubular shaft
I had to get an F23 gearbox from a facelift vectra v6 which has a cable shifter

For a track car? Are you on drugs?
It will make it very very nose heavy, it won't go round corners, it won't make much power because of the lazy V6, and talk about an utter ball ache to get it in.
As above, get a mk3 mondeo 2 litre duratec engine, put some throttle bodies on the front of it and there's an easy 200 bhp for you

That's only the slam panel, I cut it out as a precaution. Putting a new one on in due course, other than that the only actual modification is the gearbox mount.

I have seen a Mondeo v6 engine in a Xr2 before and it did look good although the alternator was running off the cam
The engine isnt as heavy as you think as it's all ally

Yes I've seen that too, I'm going to drive the alternator from cam too as I want to keep the a/c. Seeing the xr2 basically confirmed to me that it'd fit, so I went ahead. Still got loom and driveshafts to do but it's pretty much in with little other mods needed.
