Fiesta MK1: Cutaway Engine & Gearbox




Fiesta MK1: Cutaway Engine & Gearbox

Official Press Release Information Below


The New Ford Fiesta

There are three engines in two sizes of 957 and 1,117 cc. These give power outputs of 40, 45 and 53 PS (DIN). All use the award-winning Ford sonic idle carburettor for maximum economy, and overhead valves operated by pushrods. The advanced, all-indirect gearbox is in line with the transverse engine, with the final drive behind. Special care has been taken to make the gear change both light and positive. Gears have fine-pitched teeth for quiet running and constant-velocity joints are used at both ends of each drive shaft.
