hi people, im doin an engine conversion in the near future but i need some guidance on which would be the better option.
im looking to put an frst engine in my mk5 fiesta zetec-s, would it be easier to go zvh rather than cvh as i know that only one engine mount needs to be fabricated to put the zetec e engine in, but on the other hand the mounts on the cvh are very similar. which would be easiest?
also what lse would i need, inlet manifold with turbo, , the zs gearbox will fit, but what else? loom? management? any suggestions and help will be very much appreciated, cheers in advance
regards craig

 

Mk5's come with CVH engines too..........get a mount off one of them and it will be easy.

ZVH's are good if you have the money to do it properly but generally the ZVH's work out more expensive.

If you get a whole FRST engine with loom etc, u shouldnt need too much else, the standard box in the car will fit (probably be an MTX75 box), best to have an RS box though then you have the benefit of the LSD.
