Default rs2k i4 or 2.0 zetec engine... any differences..??

was just wondering what, if any differences there are between the rs2k i4 engine and the 2.0 zetec... do the use all the same mountings, have the same gearbox/flywheel/clutch arrangments bolt patterns etc...

just wondering if it'd be too much grief to get the 2.3 galaxy upgrade and fit it in a normal mk6 engine bay....

any help much appreciated.....

thanks
joe...

Two completly different engines I4 is chain driven, zetec is belt for example. 2.3 and 2.0 I4 engines have exactly the same exterior dimensions. Best mix is the RS2k head and galaxy bottom end. All pre Duratec engines use the same gearbox bolt pattern.
