I dont think you can!
I might be wrong but I think the duratec is a mazda engine and has the mazda gearbox mounting pattern.

Nope bellhousing bolt pattern is very different from duratec to any previous ford gearbox thers some bellhousing adapters so you can use duratec with say type9 rwd box might work on most ford boxes with detachable bell housings or you can cut and weld the adapter onto it. Nothing for fwd though apart from mazda and ford that came with that engine derived from ib5 box.

An eye for detail...

Quick refresher for a buried thread, but doesn't the st150 use an ib5 box joined to a duratec??
I bought a later ib5 gearbox to use rear starter and new st150 group n gear kit, but may install duratec engine instead of blacktop zetec since I've converted shell to new mount style and they look the same.
Wonder how difficult it'd be to fit it all in??
