As the title states,are their any engines conversions that a novice could handle without to much problems. It does not have to be ford. An engine conversion that takes an every day car and transforms it.
I have a passion for performance cars and have always wanted to take on something like this.
Any recommendations ?

I was thinking nova/corsa with a c20 let to begin with.

I put C20XE into a MK1 nova sr. IT certainly transformed it! Very easy converson as well. Only problem was it made me drive everywhere flat out!

have you removed and fitted an engine before? if not i would reccomend starting out simple, and just unbolting/bolting everything back together.
as said, nova's and corsa's are a good option for conversions, as theyve been done so many times now, there is info all over the internet, guides etc.

Puma 1.7 into Fiesta Zetec-S is very straightforward. There happens to be a handy 'how to' guide in the current issue of Fast Ford
