Default focus st170 engine swap

hi all,
i have a 02 st 170 write off and a 2000 focus 1.8 black top zetec,what i would like to know is can i simply swap engine/box/shafts etc, ecu clocks straight over retaining the 1.8 wiring harness ,or will i need the st wiring loom too?
and if i do need to swap wiring does the engine loom seperate or is it a all in 1 job?
any advice from anyone who has carried out this conversion or generally knows their way around a focus would be much appreciated
thanx

You'll need to swap everything from the written shell to the good shell....loom and fuel system. That's because like many people will tell you...the ST170 doesn't have a normal fuel return pipe, because it's controlled by the ECU.

I'm afraid your job is a lot worst than you would thought before
