1600 CVH carb, with an RS1600i cover. The engine is probably from an XR2.

Not the original engine for that Fiesta, especially being an M reg. Also you have a Mk3.5 Fiesta.

Its deffo a cvh of some sort. What reg is the car thats its in? Early ones came with a 1.6 on a carb and was known as a 1.6s. used as a stop gap until the 2i came out on a late G and more common on a H. The later fiesta flights came with a 1.4 cvh on single point injection and a 1.6 zetec also. Plenty of choice out there for a swap though. Zetec conversion is easy as they came fitted to this car. Or use the 2.0 with a few 1.8 parts to work in your car. Or rs turbo eyc etc

looks like it has the rs1600 exhaust manifold as well .
both the cam cover & manifold should be worth a bit when sold .
