1.7 zetec SE out of a puma fits well.

as does a 2.0 Zetec E. Both relatively easy to do.

Zetec turbo would be cool. Wouldnt bother with knackered old CVH turbos these days.

I vote 2.0 Duratec, lighter, more modern, and dare I say reliable than a Zetec E?

http://myka.org

have a look in the modding section there is a chap offering the conversion parts for the 2.0 zetec conversion

even with the zetec as standard power it would go really well
