Hiya people,
I have signed up on this forum on behalf of a friend as he doesnt have access to the internet, He recently bought a mint Mk3 3 door fiesta shell, which is running a foobered carbed 1.3 engine
And today went on a 6 and half hour round trip to pick up a carbed 1.6 CVH engine.
With the engine he got all engine, starter alternator etc all built up and ready to put in, also rad, and pipes and driveshafts. My question is what else is needed to put the engine in etc,( different engine mounts, alternator clearences) Also is he needing to change the loom??
Or is there a good build thread which answers all the questions?? have
looked in search but couldn't find anything.
Pictures can be supplied if needed
Any help will be muchly appreciated
Cheers
Connor

Ps forum is spot on

 

Loom, rads, water pipes, gear linkage (depending on what model the engine is from), are all different just to start with.

 

its a different typ engine for a start (1.3HCS vs 1.6cvh).
so i would guess the mounts need changing but everything should be available from a scrappy/motor factors as there was plenty of cvh fiestas.
both 1400 and 1600 models used a cvh engine in the mk3 fiesta.

 

Cheers guys,
I knew it wasn't going to be a simple conversion,
has anybody got any WIP threads where someone has done
one, or one simlar so i can get a rough idea
