There's a bit more to it than that (block oil ways and dropping the compression, water pump adapter plate and cam belt tensioner etc). You'll also need to have quite a lot of headwork done to get the gasses flowing and to prevent the engine running out of balls at about 5.5krpm.

The general consensus these days is the ZVH conversion isn't all it was hyped up to be and you're better off either going full Zetec turbo or building a proper CVH.
