is that the 1.25 zetec or 1.3? if its the 1.25 then you can get away with changing the engine straight over with the same wiring for a zetec s 1.6 engine as long as you get the ecu and ignition key and barrell set

nah run the box and shafts out of your engine, better accel that way, just uprate the brakes and suspension really. focus 1.6 disks and fiesta zetec s pads and calipers go straight on
