Default MK3 Fiesta engine swap

Hello,

I have had a search online but cant seem to find any clues so i'm hoping you lot can help me

I've got a 95' Mk3 fiesta 1.3 CFI and I want to know how much work would be involved in swapping the tappet munching power house which is currently in there for a 1.6 CVH lump, as in what needs to be changed etc.

Hate to drag up past threads but I have driven the car in a charity rally across Europe and its back and still alive, I checked underneath and its very (strangely) solid and rot free so im re-visiting the idea of doing this conversion. if anyone can help id be really grateful.


I've added this photo so you know what im dealing with

Would be easier to bolt a 1600 cross flow in which is similar to the engine u already have in there

been a long while since I had much to do with these conversions. Finding a good cvh might be the hard part so you'd be better off probably looking for a zetec lump as that should be more easily available i'd have though and cheaper. Surely someone on here can offer advice
