3.0 ltr V6 mondeo engine fro the ST 220, its gonna be tight but the results will be amazing, and keep the 1.6 si box, forget about rs turbos for challenges ur be on par with skylines and supras!

if u manage to get it done take photos and make a log and email to me so i can do it too :o

swap to a 130ps throttle body from an escort, fiestaRS1800 or even the mondeo 2ltr one may fit.
im looking for a 130ps TB from a escort or fiesta since mondeo ones need to be modded, its very hard to find a 130ps TB, mondeo ones are always available but i hear they are hard to fit cuz they require modification to the throttle linkage cable or summink.
