Is it possible to put a MK4 1.6 Zetec engine into my mk3?

currently got a 1.4 in there. The reason i would choose this engine is becasue it is only a group 8 where as something like n rs turbo is a group 15.

What engine would you all recommend? I turn 20 soon with 2 years no claims

from what i read on here thats the worst engine to put in, the worst performer of the range, cant remember why, im sure someone else can add here............

Theres no such thing as a mk4 1.6. Do you mean the 1.6 Zetec-E engines from Mk3.5 Si's or mk5 Zetec-S engine?

[MiniMe2]

i am talking about the MKIV Si 1600 Zetec engine mate

would it be a better bet to go for a focus engine? is that possible? say the nice 2.0 Zetec?

both engines are a group 8 insurance

what engine would you go for?

[Classkeeper]

Well ive never heard of a mk4 Si with a 1.6 engine, they had 1.4 16v iirc.
To be honest mate you might as well whack a 2.0 mondeo engine in.

how hard would that be do? Different mounting points? would i need to change the gearbox and everything else as well right?

where would be the best place to get one from? a scrap yard?

or the mk5 zetec-s?

no mk4 ever came 1.6 as standard

[MiniMe2]

must have been the mk5 zetec-s, i am just going by fast ford 'august' as they show all the ford engines with insurance details etc

speak to tony at pumaspeed

anything can be done with a little cash

shouldnt see it being too hard getting the engine in there...

however, for the little bit extra it'll cost, get the 1.7 puma lump in there... what an engine, more power in the beginning, and much more perspective for big power later on, with things such as cams, chips, racing puma intake and exhaust maifolds, throttle bodies, turbo's, nitrous.... the list is endless,

the 1.6 is still a very sweet engine, just not as much perspective for it unless spending bvery very very big bucks
