Default using 1.8 parts with a 2.0 blacktop

hi everyone,
iv got a few questions i hope someone can possibly help me out with.

Im going to purchase a 2.0 blacktop zetec soon, and i was curious about a few things to get it working in a mk5 fiesta.

1. using the 1.8 gearbox, flywheel+clutch, would i use the 1.8 focus starter or the fiesta starter ? ( i know ill have to cut away a section of the sump to get it sitting properly , but that shouldnt be much of a problem. )

2. people tell me to use the 1.8 sump... but isnt the 2.0 blacktop sump where some of its 'extra strength' is ? -could i not just retain the 2.0 sump ?

3. will the standard 1.6 fiesta driveshafts fit the focus 1.8 box ?

and finally, 4. a custom upper mount will be needed, the gearbox mount will fit the 1.8 box, but what would i do about the 3rd/rear mount ? -would that bolt up to the 2.0 or would i need to get that mount custom fabricated aswell ?



Thank you.
