Default V6 24v in Escort mk6

Who's done it?
What box do you use?
Engine mounts?
What about clutch and flywheel and drive shafts?
All the other fabrication should be ok to do, but I just need to know if it is feasable.

I spoke to Jamsport about doing this a few months back for a technical question. They reckon it is possible but will be very expensive and a shit load of work to do.
No idea what bits you'd need to use, but if you do shoe horn it in, give us a shout.

Ford Actually did this with the mk5/6? Escort, rear wheel drive with the 24v cosworth engine from the Granada. Had a full leather interior too looked ace, would have made catmeat out of a vr6 golf. It wasnt a production car obviously but they deffo made a driving example, i'm sure I saw it at a show a few years ago.
