Hello all, I have just got a 2001 Ford Ka and am having crazy ideas about it. I am looking to use it to use as advertisement for my detailing business and my new range of car care product that I am launching. originally it was going to be a simple bring into our body shop job with super flat paint and highlights but now I'm thinking about an engine change to something a bit more fun but noting that will unbalance the great handling that i love at the moment just need a bit of a power boost. I want to use this car on a regular basis so I want it reliable and easy to use any suggestions or pointers for information would be greatly appreciated!

thanks

1.8zetec out of an escort gti is best as it comes with most of the bits needed for conversion.there's a chap somewhere doing engine mounts on this forum that make the whole process a lot easier.
I think there's only 6 wires to swap as well and it utilises the original box&shafts from the Ka.
I think you may need to tip the back of the bonnet up a few mm to clear the plenum although this seems popular now anyway .
