hi as titled i am putting an escort si 1.8 engine in my 1.1. fiesta i have heard that the 1.1 gearbox will fit but what clutch do i use.

also do i use fiesta si 1.6 engine mount.

Fiesta Zetec engine mounts, either 1.6 or 1.8 ones.

You can use the 1.1 box, it isnt that short really and 5th is pretty good. (I use one on my 2.0ltr)

You can use the escort clutch.

Infact you can use the escort gearbox if its still bolted to the engine.


For ease of fitment use a full fiesta zetec wiring loom (si...rs1800)
or you can wire in an engine loom fairly easy and keep your 1.1 interior loom.
advantage of si loom is electric pack for windows etc etc.

fuel tank will need a fuel pump fitted, or just use a zetec tank

nothing else needs changing that I can remember.

I went 1.1 to 1.8TD to 1.8zetec to 2.0zetec so I should know

I remember a 1.8 fiesta near me with a 1.1 box, it murdered my 2.0 from the lights.
