Default Mk3 Cortina 24v Cosworth Conversion advice

I've got a mk3 Cortina 1600L that currently has a 2 litre pinto and type 9 box.
I am considering buying a whole scorpio Cosworth and putting that engine in, I know the type 9 ideally would need upgrading to a mt75 hybrid box, but is there anything else to consider?
What prop shaft do I need?
Will the standard diff and rear axle need upgrading?
Do the brakes and suspension need upgrading? It currently has discs front and drums to the rear, its also been upgraded with a servo.
Will everything I need apart from the box be on the scorpio?
Has anyone done this conversion in this car, if so what problems did you come against?
I've done a search on here, but most of the cars its been done to are Capris.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
