Default Anyone used a FRS gearbox in a 2.0Zetec Escort?

Been offered an uprated Focus RS gearbox for my 2.0 Zetec Turbo engine to go in my Escort RS Turbo shell - anyone ever done this before?

Just want to know about mounts etc.

Cheers

Will

mounts need to be considered, drive shafts and the fact the box has a hydro clutch and a cable gear change

but anything is possable

What's on the Escort RS turbo as standard then? Hydraulic or cable clutch?

Mounts shouldn't be too much of a problem - i've got an Escort mount and will get a FRS mount - the guy who's doing my bodywork fabricates anything and everything so that shouldn't be *such* an issue.

Custom driveshafts have been talked about!
