I am thinking of doing a Fiesta conversion, and was wondering if anyone knew what engines you can fit in it. Over here we have just got that shape, 5 door and auto only, so would be looking for something with a lot more poke, would the Focus ST motor fit?

In theory you could fit any engine you like in there within reason!
It's a case of how much you want it in there!
I'd start with some simple measurements of the bay and the engine you wish to fit then go from there really...
Are you planning on doing the conversion yourelf or paying a specialist to do it?

I rekon an ST150 Duratec engine is the way to go!

Jam-Sport is your friend. I had my exhaust done there in January and one of their project cars is a 400+bhp 2.5l Supercharged Fiesta ST. http://www.jam-sport.co.uk/

Thanks for the advice, I would be getting a motorsports place in Bangkok to do the conversion, they convert Mitsubishi Lancers into Evos, it's to do with the tax you pay on cars over a certain engine size and horsepower, that the reason I thought of getting a bogstock 1.25 Fiesta three door, only 5 doors over here, or a saloon if you really want something damned ugly!! Then I can import the necessary engine and drivetrain and send it to Khun Lim and let him get to work.
