Hi,
First thread so be nice!
I have just purchased a fiesta 1.25 zetec on a 99 W reg, the engine was knocking so i gave the car to a friend of mine to repair: new big end, conrods, rings, camshaft, gaskets etc.
He starts it after spending a few days sorting it out, and it starts knocking again: he made an error of not checking the oil pick up which was the reason the motor failed in the first place!! Annoying as its cost me a few quid. Anyway, his way of rectification is for me to supply a second hand motor and for him to fit it for zero pence. And my questions are these:
Can i fit a 1.4 or 1.6 zetec motor from a fiesta into my 1.25? And if i can, is it easy and what mods do i need to make? Would i require a 1.4 or 1.6 ecu? And what differences are there between a 1.25 and 1.4 zetec, as i have been offered a 1.4 with gearbox and all ancillaries for cheap.
Thanks in advance!
