point munber 1

make sure the wiring is properly wired up, properly, before you dissaemble anything

point number 2, make sure you check all the fuel lines because you don't want to spray fuel everywhere as they get VERY hot

as for the rest, you can swap the front suspension directly over

the rears you can get bis for swapping the hubs over if not the compelte rear axle

spring rates etc will need to be sorted but even though you can weld in the sierra rear end, it loks a bit wrong and you'd probably need to find the stuff from an estate with the correct shock mounting points

Remember mine spitting fuel everywhere at one of the revs track days. Wasn't nice. A very very nice man repaired it in mcdonalds car park.

it's the way the extra injectors are plumbed in, an accident just waiting to happen if the pipes are old or the connections are lose

you can use the capri rear axle , its easy to fit , sierra/cosworth axle more work to put one on but imo if your going to keep it I would use the sierra/cosworth set up
