Loads of room in the engine bay. I know a lad who is putting one in a Fiesta ST150 at the moment, they’re becoming a more common swap now they’re a little cheaper than they were.

True, I guess back then you did not having small hatches leaving the factory with well over 200bhp either!
These days 300bhp is fairly standard
