Total waste of effort unless it's got a turbo on it. For a start, the whole offside engine mount is custom, the exhaust and inlet are on the wrong sides and it's only as powerful as a puma engine with a remap.
Much better option is the duratec, especially the st150 version. It's the right way round, lighter and more tunable, as well as being easier to fit.

I quite like my Puma and tbh i find it quite quick(from 2nd gear up) so could only imagine in a Fiesta itl be a tad quicker.

I get the impression that there are not many options, I've not yet found something that would go in a Puma as easy as XEs in Corsas.

Duratec Ian, it's the only option IMO, mounts ate available, engines are cheap (mk3 mondeo is the donor) just need an aftermarket ecu but if you're on a tight budget then even megasquirt would work.
Tuning options aplenty, starting with cams and exhaust for about 170bhp, right up to 380-400 bhp with a supercharger.
Cheaper to convert to duratec and get 200bhp from that than the same power from a zetec-se.
If I'd kept my fiesta, I would have ditched the zetec by now and gone the duratec route

Think its canbus, not sure you'd get it to run off the donor car 
Might be possible, Broster will know.

Shame, makes a fairly cheap conversion somewhat more expensive.
