OK, i have a 1.3hcs engine with power flow exhaust, i want to change it, to a 1.6 or something bigger with out changing the gear box or changing to injection.
Like changing a 1.0 to 1.1
Any ideas

I dont know how big the HCS engines go to.......but can you not pick up a cheap 1.6 CVH engine out of an XR2 ??

Ain't gonna just be a drop in job as you have the largest compatible engine I know of (but that's not saying much since I know a bit less than not much... ).

Your best bet might be to go for an EFi 1600 CVH lump, to be honest.

Otherwise, how about considering buying a second fezzie???

so does that mean if i got a 1.6 xr2 engine i could put it on like the 1.1 to 1.3

Mk.2 XR2 engine is a CVH so everything is different, the HCS is similar to the kent found in the Mk.1 XR2 so is more similar, this is a better engine aswell as can be tuned more than the CVH up to around 180BHP I think, getting rare though.....

do-do, i thought the 1.6 xr2 was a hcs.
What else will i need of the car, are you sure, cause i was sure i seen a carb on the xr2 i was looking at.
It looked exactly like mine but eith a bigger rocker cover

Mk1 xr2-OHV, carb fed, 1600
Mk2 xr2-cvh, carb fed, 1600

It will be hard to find a decent ohv engine that doesn`t need a full rebuild, cvh you can just find a doner xr2 and take the engine/gearbox and ignition system(coil, distributer etc). Quite easy swap, just drop the lump in and wire up the ignition system, sort the fuel pipes out, and remember the wire on the carb..

I happen to know someone selling a rather nice Mk1 XR2 with the Kent OHV engine in. It's tuned to around 133 bhp, on a normal carb (so it's not too fuel thirsty) and has racing seats, mint 4-spoke alloys with sticky rubber, Leda shocks and springs, and full Ashley system in manifold.

I would love to buy but it would be too expensive to bring it over.
So what will i need of the mk2 xr2 or will i try and find a mk1 xr2
Ps cheers for all the advice project ST 2000

do what i have done and found an escort engine thats a 1.6 cvh and that has the edis module on it - no dizzie!!!

Fits streight in after swappin the drivers side engine mount, alternator bracket and thats bout it on engine.

Then you need to change the rad and pipes to 1.4/1.6 fiesta cvh ones.

Breaks uprated may be a good idea as well!
