a young lad had one in his escort cabriolet a couple of years back, 1.8 from the sierra and it run like a bag of shit,he had no end of problems with it it used to go up the road popping and banging and misfiring.he then scrapped it and went on to do a 2.0 zvh conversion,so from what ive seen id give it a wide berth.
HTH
