Hi, Im from Australia, and I have an XR3carby South African build with 5speed and want to install a Focus black top Zetec. The last Escort we got here was the Mk2.
We have the Mondeo series 1,2,KA, Focus and current Fiesta.
I need some detailed information of what to exactly do.
At the moment I was thinking of using the standard fuel injection with an aftermarket ECU, or getting from England a Escort Zetec EFI setup.
I know the engine will bolt straight to the gearbox and modify one engine mount. Flywheel I can use the CVH with a sensor off the front pulley, but would prefer to use the Escort Zetec with crank sensor.
What do I need to do to fit the starter motor?(something to do with removing some webbing).
Then throttle cable and other things I need to do etc.

My diff is a little noisy, I want to know, can I fit an IB5 gearbox from a KA or a MTX-75 from a mondeo or focus. Or is it better to source a gearbox and limited slip diff from a turbo escort and which version is the best.
If some one could help me out that would be greatly appreciated.
Then eventually I will need some help with the suspension,brakes etc.
regards
David
