alright mate someone has asked this before so ive copied stuff i said before.
One of my mates is carrying out a 2.0 Zetec in a Dutch mk2 3door at the moment, you basically need to go down the same route as putting one in a mk1/2 escort or any thing else retro.
If you don't mind spending a little bit of money use the parts that 'retro ford' supply they do everything to convert to rwd. But with the sierra because it's basically the same as a 1800cvh you can use the standard crossmemeber and use the cvh engine mounts. This will keep all the engine and gearbox in the same place making it quiet straight forward.

Me and my old man also carried out this out on his cortina 1600e except we done it all for bout £300 !! With custom parts and different bits and pieces
Hope this helps mate

Get hold of a DOHC 2.0 8v sierra or Granada starter. They are very short and are the right bolt pattern. I'm pretty sure the zetec one is too big. Have a look on eBay at brand new cheap starters I bought one for my Cossie beginning of last year and still going strong even though there cheapies.

f you do a quick search on turbosport there is a section devoted to zetec installations and pretty sure I've seen wiring diagrams. If you don't have any luck I'll try to find mine.

The passenger side can only take 2 bolts but he is gonna brace it across from another spare hole.
