pretty easy as its a well walked path
WCXM
engine mounts modded unless the mk2 is an RS200 or already has a pinto.
Gearbox tunel need works.
back back needs minor triming.
few more things but theres a few.

see this months classic ford for an awesome black mk2 rs2000 nosecone model
it's not at all difficult, but the quality of how you do it will vary depending on how much you want to spend on special parts like hydraulic clutch conversion, axle, brakes, radiator, intercooler etc.
