Because the Fezzy engine came from a Fezzy.

Apparently the best way to do it is to get a crashed Fiesta RST or one that's being scrapped and then have both cars side by side and spend about 2 weeks sorting out all of the fiddly bits - especially the wiring loom.

You're best off asking RS_Rawli for more info on this as he's managed to get a Fiesta RST lump into his Fiesta - using a scrapped Fiesta RST!

Check out his posts in the member's gallery forum.

Cheers,
