Anyways, recently bought a 9-year dry stored Ford Orion with the intention of keeping it dead stock... other than the drivetrain.
Did some digging and found that the CVH doesn't really give 200+hp numbers very easily. I am aiming for about the 270 mark as a challenge to myself and my abilities, make a laughing stock out of my Dad's BMW 535d and overall have a lot of fun!
Did some more digging and found ZVHs and ZETEC swaps. liked the idea of some janky engine swap and so I had a look around and found a Zetec silver top 1.8 for £200 with 20k miles.
What I am essential asking is what I will need to do and to get in order to proceed with the swap in the fullest. I can imagine it would be the usual loom, ECU and flywheel to mate to the gearbox, just want some guidance as I have heard all sorts about different sumps, orientations of pulleys in mondeos and countless other things that I can't seem to form a cohesive picture.
If any of you could help piece this puzzle together, I would be over the moon and will document the process fully!

Regards and thanks from yours newbie truly!
