Default Gearbox help on 2.0 zetec

Need help with gearbox!!?

I'm putting a 2.0 zetec turbo lump in my mk3 escort. It originally came out of a series 2 and still has fly and clutch from cvh box.

What gear box will tally straight Upto this?
Looking at using a 1.3 ka ib5 box as it has the right front mount but unsure on back?
Also how easy is it to convert to hydraulic clutch etc?

I'm sure I read on here somewhere the gear ratios are the same as an Rs turbos? Any info on what I'll need etc? For now I just want to get box n engine mounted in car as moving soon and makes my life easier lol.

Cheers in advance guys

Karlos has done a guide on converting to hydraulic clutch and the ka box.

I've been in Oz for the last month so only now catching up on here!
You just need to do the first part of the guide as of course the Ka box has a hydro slave already and yes the ratio's are almost identical.
