Default zetec head, solid or hydraulic?

Does anyone know whether a 1998 mondeo 2.0 zetec would have solid or hydraulic followers in the head? I have a focus that I’m trying to turbo and have been offered a 2.0 litre head but it came off a mondeo. If its got the hydraulic followers in can these be swapped for solid ones as found in the focus?

The old zetec had hydraulic lifters and the newer one solid lifter and hte engine changed in 1998 so difficult to say. Try to check where the oil filter is. If it's on the oil pump then you have a old zetec. If it's directly on the block then you have a newer zetec with solid lifers.
