hi could anyone tell me if a ford ka engine will fit into a puma if its possible and what is involved in doing it
many thanks

 

Can't see why you would want to change from a Zetec engine to a old Kent (Endura-E) engine.

Why would you want a ka engine in a puma?

 

im doing a project mate doesnt have to be a ka engine aslong as its a ford 1.4 engine and the inlet manifold is at the back not the front

 

A 2 litre zetec fits

 

gota be a 1.4 bud

 

The ka motor is a 1.3

 

this tread is such a fail , PMSL

 

ok 1.3 to 1.4 will the ka one fit do u know or any other engine that is 1.3 or 1.4

while your on the taking the piss mode its thread not TREAD all im asking for is a bit of help with a project im doing

 

Just wondering how come you need the inlet at the back?

 

whatever engine i use will be going on carbs and i dont want the bonnet vent at the front

 

Couldn't you put the bonnet vent at the back and duct it under the bonnet to the front?

 

if your intent on a ka motor why not use the 1.6 out of the sport?

Still om unsure why you would not just carb the engine that came in the puma?

 

could do but my brother in-law wants to do it his way as its both of our project i just do all the fiberglass and filler and paint he does the rest just wana know what engine would fit really theres gota be one

 

not being rude mate but if you read the thread i did say its gota be
1.3 or 1.4 with the inlet manifold at the back

 

yea i got that bit but why on earth would you want to put an old endura OHV engine in a puma?

 

and the satndard puma engine has the inlet at the back if i am not mistaken (1.4,1.6 ) so why not use the 1.4 zetec?

 

Use the 1.4 puma zetec motor and try and convince your brother in law that the ducted bonnet is the right way to go! Then at least you will have a decent motor in it.

 

Nope all the puma engines have the inlet manfold on the front even the FRP

 

As said the Puma has is avaliable with the 1.4 (Zetec-SE) engine.

No it dosen't, inlet will be at the front on all the Puma's and will also be plastic.

i was just about to say the 1.4 puma i got inlet manifold is at the front

 

yea my bad

 

event he sportka 1.6 is only 95~bhp , the 1.3 duratec is 70-75, the older endura engine is about 60 or less!

Put a 2.0 zetec in it.

If it has to be a 1.3/1.4 i dont see the point and i would say save your money.

 

To answer the question u asked, yes it will fit. The gearbox casing is the same, so that takes car of the 2 mounts on that side. You will need to use the 1.3 engine mount for the off side. Worst case will need a little nodding on the drivers engine mount.
