Basically what you have said plus radiator and rear discs if you don't have them already friend of mine got his as converted for about 1000 with his engine and other bits in part ex

my advice, don't do it, buy an ST..

I understand that, the last person with a ZS that didnt just want to buy an ST on here, had the conversion done and the car was ruined. So ended up buying an ST.

I understand the sentimental value but with such a risk as an engine swap that can go wrong, I would still buy an ST over risking ruining the car that means so much.
It will be hard to part with it of course but by doing this you can also remember your grandad as the person that helped you to move onto this next step, by helping you buy the next car on the ladder. In that way every car you buy can always help you remember your grandad as long as you remember where the original starting point was.

This is why i said Dont go to Pumabuild.

btw get some pics loaded up of your ZS

You could always go the mountune route and get there 2.5duratec race engine that fits anywhere where there is a 2ltr but it's an expensive engine

if you want more power why not do something else instead of an ST engine, a focus rs engine or a mk2 rs engine to be really different, or maybe a 2.3 turbo mazda engine

insurance wouldn't be much more as declaring a different engine to the insurance will make it more than an st anyway i would think

Would be nice to run a mk1 rs engine but there like rocking horse ****
