Last week the timing belt went on my 1.8D Escort van. Now to remedy this circumstance, I have the chance of an RS2000 I4 engine which I would love to drop into my van.

Has anybody done anything similar and could maybe give me some pointers as to whether this would be a nightmare to do or not and what parts I would need?

Would I get away with the diesel gearbox, driveshafts, etc...?

Cheers
Scott
