Default Anyone help with rs2000 engine into ford ka

Recently found that my rs2000 mk6 1996 has major rot so was thinking on getting a ford ka to put rs engine in, I've done a couple conversions on cars but mostly escorts and know it's not just a case of dropping engine in.
If anyone has info on this conversions or has links to a page that does it would help me decide if it's worth doing or not. What parts are needed from rs2000 what parts are used from ka.
Any help on this would be great, don't want to have to sell all parts from rs2000 I want it to live on if it's possible. Robbie.

I honestly dont think I've seen it done. A few Zetecs have been chucked in tho so if you can find someones build thread on that, it wont be too far removed.
That'll be a right little sleeper tho with the 2k engine in and shouldn't really cost much to build (custom engine mount/shafts at worse!). Definitely get a build thread up when you start

Thanks for reply, yeah seems to be very little about this conversions on Google, seems to be a few pics on Google images of ka with rs2000 engine but there using engine long ways and making it rear wheel drive, I've also seen 2.0 black top silver top engine conversions in ka and from what I've seen it looks like theres a bit of cutting at front where bonnet latch would be.
I'll definitely put up a build thread once I find the right info. I'm thinking it'll be a rapid ka if I can figure it all out.
