Default focus st 3 into escort van

thinking of a crazy project ive got a bumped st3 here and a escort van shell what do you think would be the best way to do the engine convertion drop the engine into the current escort bay and make custom mounts up or use the focus front turrets and chassis legs ect almost the same way ud do a focus or any cosworth convertion
