Default duratec engine into a mk1 focus

hi guys im considering puuting a duratec either a 2.0 from a mondeo or fiesta st into a mk1 focus , with the scope for upgrading to a 2.3 in the future,
i thought it was a good idea due to the tuning potential and the weight of the engine being quite light compares to a 2.0 zetec,

plus in standard form they produce more power than a standard zetec.

looking at the mounts from the mondeo and the later focus's i think mounting will be quite simple as will the mangement,

the car it will be going into will be caged , stripped, polycarb windows blah blah, but will be used as fun/track/weekend kinda toy.

what do you think? good idea ? bad idea?
any links to people have done it before?
probably go along the bodies route aswell
