Depends what your looking at. Im guessing a Zetec or something like that?

They near on drop straight in, not too sure what mounts you use but presumably a XR2 mount would do the job.

If you want a 5 speed you will have to mod the chassis rail though

 

As safechav says zetec is great lump and easy to do, but as he says 5 speed box does need chassis mod, cut out and reweld back 3/4" or so.

Not a keen fan of them myself

 

MY applogies thought you were recommending them!!
Not my fav either!!
