Default Focus TDI and TDCI Differences.
Are there any differences in the block/ head?

I have a car with a blown TDCI engine and I have a spare TDI engine.

Can I just bolt the TDCI pump, injectors ect to it?

Dont know, but bear in mind the compression ratio is very fussy and different injectors will affect this

yeah, the op is asking if the injection equiptment is interchagable from both engines. IE are the blocks and heads the same?
