Default Fitting a 1.8/2.0 Zetec engine into a Mk 6 escorts van

Hi,
I am keen on starting a project with an Escort van. If anyone knows if it's possible to fit a 1.8/2.0 Zetec engine and gearbox into a 98- Escort van I would appreciate hearing from you. I am also on the lookout for said van that would benefit from such an overhaul. Thanks

Get a car and van side by side, strip the van down so all the loom is out and diesel gubbins. Then strip the zetec car down fit the loom in to the van swap the engine over, fit car fuel lines and get a petrol van tank. You can use the fuel pump from the doner car, its not overly hard to do just be methodical in what your doing.
