Basically you need a large gearbox tunnel or the T5 box, a lip on the bulkhead pressed flat and a lowered worldcup crossmember to mount the engine in. Also needs a custom sump to clear the crossmember

T5 is a standard 2WD Cossie gearbox

Large tunnel can be had from most RWD Escort places, speak to RACE in Stoke, their kit is good quality

There is a lot more to it than that though!
