i would wanna no how you build a 16 valve 2.9 cosworth engine tbh
any think can be done as its metal at the end of the day. all depends on your skill/ amount of cash to pour into it

ive seen a 2.9 12v/24v in a mk1 fiesta on a website somewhere so no reason why it cant be done to a mk3. Theres even a mk2 XR2 with a 3.5 Rover V8 thats been advertised for sale on pistonheads and ebay a long time ago but cant remember if it was rear engined or not.
Not entirely sure what other work had to be done but it must have been a pretty big job. Maybe modify the bulkhead or something.
Would be interesting to drive though

ive seen one in a mk 2 and it was tight and theres less room in a mk3
i would think first stop would be getting the battery in the boot then mounting the a rad forward as much as possible then the only thing that could cause an issue is the brake servo
i would think the duratec v6 is lighter and easier to mount
