Well I know a fair bit, and have done absolutely nothing. Mostly due to the fact that I don't trust myself to get the job done perfectly first time.
I do however know that a "huge" engine will not fit in a "tiny" engine bay.
I also know that a "medium" sized engine will not fit in a "small" bay, and that a "small" engine isn't always compatible with a "large" engine bay.
It doesn't take much to realise that an engine type not used in the design of the bay & car in general will usally not work.
It is pretty obvious for instance that the 3.0L duratec has a chance of working in the the 2.5L housing, which is why it has been carried out.
It must also be pretty obvious from looking at an existing 2.5L bay, even a Zetec bay that much bigger is going to cause problems.
At this point I must admit that I was curious as to other engines tried, and I have posted this question recently too.
The issue here is not asking a question, but as to how a question is asked. Mine, asking if any alternative engines had been tried, was answered with jest and with seriousness. Suggesting that a quart fit into a pint pot, is obviously going to get you in s**t !
I can understand how and why this question was thought up, but it really doesn't take more than 10 minutes to save face and discover that not only is it not possible, but to learn why it is not possible. Not just by using the search feature, but by common sense too.
In the end, it's not what the question is, but why you ask it, that gets you either trouble, respect, or indifference.
Rabbit.
