Default 2.0l cabby

hi is it possible to fit a 2.0l engine into my cabby, the engine i have in mind is a bottom end mondeo 2.0l with a 1.6 xr3i mfi head, its a complete engine with starter motor, dizzy, gearbox, and alternator, with all the wires ect, it comes with an extra engine mount, as mine is an mfi it shoud just be an easy swap shouldnt it?

Just swap it for a straight Mondo engine. Keep the flywheel of the XR engine, you need a 1.8 Escort sump, Modify the engine mounts and a few other bits. Just the loom to sort out really!!
