thanks jacko

sorry to all u good people looking dint explain my prolem properly my trike frame is bike type style built my self can be alterd p of p just nead to no can i fit fiesta mk1 mk2 or mk3 engine to rwd gearbox to keep engine at front of frame

The early Fiestas used the crossflow engine so the basic answer is "yes you can" as it's an easy bolt on to a RWD ford gearbox of the same era (MK 1,2 Escort, most Capris, Cortina, Sierra type 9 etc.).

I'm not sure from your posts if you already have a Reliant engine and gearbox installed. If so, you'll find that the Reliant engine/box combo is quite short (longitudinally) and if you fit a Ford combo there might not be enough room for the propshaft.

it won't be quite so easy either if you are trying to mate a Reliant gearbox to a Fiesta engine. If I recall the Reliant has a cast-in bellhousing.

Some pictures of what you have now might help you get the answer you're after.

Will you put a few full stops and commas in your posts?

I did!
