Smile ford ka 2l ??

hello everyone,
i have got a mondeo 2l 16v engine 1998 to go in my ka. i need to get a few things from the scrap yard like a 1.8 flywheel and a 1.8 efi manifold and a cvh alternator braket.
i just want to no if an rs escort clutch will fit with the 1.8 flywheel and the ford ka gearbox? and if mondeo v6 brakes fit on 15in alloys? been told to get them?! where is the best place to get a manifold from?
i have never done anything like this before so if any1 has done something like this maybe you could point me in the right direction.
will get some pics up soon.
thank you

Yeah an rsturbo clutch will fit with the 1.8 flywheel, mondeo v6 brakes will go under 15's.

an inlet manifold?

About the ST lump going straight in id say no! because i havnt heard of one fitted in a Ka yet. and no its not fast in anyway shape or form haha, when running right it would have the legs on a sport Ka id say.. played with one when i first got it and wasnt anything in it. now the turbo is attached to the manifold it goes better.

Im sure an ST170 lump would go in as its pretty much a zetec just the inlet manifold being the problem as the ka is limited in space at the front.

As for other ST models lke the mk2 focus and mk6/7 fez then i doubt it will be as easy conversion because of the mounting issues.

The turbo on the Van Aaken kit is a T15 IIRC not sure if its 'from' anything. They are way more fun than a standard 1.3 but for the money spent to get them to a decent BHP figure you could have a cheaper and LIGHTER 2.0 zetec.
