Looks like its slightly baffled which would be great as long as it will clear my manifold?!?
The 'lump' as a whole isn't the same no, different head, pistons/rods but the block and sump are the same.

the waterpump is a easy fix.
As I said above the dipstick tube needs bending gently as it's the wrong shape to work with a RST manifold.

Just an old bit of Samco I had laying around mate.

I'm doing a cheap ZT in a KA so space is an issue, unsure on what inlet to use!
Yup, again as I said above it's a stock Mondeo black top plastic one, same as the FRS.
