Default Is it true...

That the RS2000 engine will fit straight on to Zetec S mk5 box so that you dont have to modify the driveshafts

And

You only have to slightly modify the back engine mount but it the rest will fit?

Heard it of a few people but rather listen to you lot as you seem to know the ins and outs on these ford cars lol

Also heard only trouble is there very heavy engines but that wouldn't bother me much if its as simple as they say.

So any help much appreciated
Cheers

I should think he means MK5/6 RS2000 DOHC, the Pinto almost certainly won't fit, there two different types of engines, ones a longitudinal RWD layout and the other a East-West engine!
