Default RS2000 conversion

Hi, wondered if anyone here can help, I've got a mk6 escort cabrio and have managed to get hold of a 2WD RS2000 engine, gearbox, loom, ECU, subframe, complete front end really from a 1992 J reg. I wanted to know if this is a relatively easy conversion as I'm currently running a 1800 zetec 130ps. Its on an N reg 1995. If anyone can help with info it would really great, thanks Scott
