Default RWD Zetec conversion

Hi,

First of all, I know the zetec shares its basic block architecture with the CVH, I assume this doesnt tail back to the crossflow?

Ive heard the water rail causes issues in rwd fitment, is this only a space issue for bulkhead clearance? Anyone got a decent pic of the OE arrangement?

Whats the best (cheapest and strongest) flywheel and clutch arrangement for a zetec onto a type 9? Ive read about rs turbo clutches and standard fwd mondeo ones and allsorts but not found a clear answer? (only looking to handle standard power in an 800kg car.

Can the original ford ecu be maintained in a transplant? Any links to wiring guides? Is the immobiliser easy to get around?

What sump patterns are available, Ive heard reference to front and rear bowl sumps? If chassis/crossmember issues are ignored, which will be best in cornering?

Im talking here about a silvertop 2.0 unit.

Cheers
