83watsonm Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 After getting the car and it being problem after problem im getting pretty sick with it so far its spent 2 weeks off road since having it for 2 weeks..... The 1.25 Zetec engine was going to be replaced at a later date after sourcing and rebuilding a reasonable engine. Well time and money are now running out, having spent £2k for it to just sit there collecting dust i need to get something happening. My mechanic told me he can pretty much put anything in (well i doubt that very much and im not prepared to call his bluff with a 3L V6 24V Cosworth engine and say "Fit that then!!" So...... Can i get a 1.8L Zetec engine out of a Focus to go straight in? I know the 1.7 Puma engine is highly desired but funds dont permit for one at the moment. Neither do i have the money for a RS Turbo lump at the moment. And how long will it take to fit the Focus lump. We have about 60 hours to do it and only £300 left for parts??? Any ideas or suggestions for the guys that know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysbodywerx Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 it is possible but needs custom mounts and driveshafts iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabz77 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 When I owed my previous mk4 I wanted to fit a Focus 2.0L engine but was told the drive shafts and mounts will need to be changed where as the Puma 1.7L is a lot simpler to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83watsonm Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Im holding on at the moment, gonna find out whats happening after a compression test to see what to do. as ideally id rather go with the Puma engine and do it over time and not rush to get it done in a week...
