Default Zetec RWD

What do I have to do to get an 2.0l Zetec Motor to fit in a ford sierra?
how will it fit on to a cosworth(2wd) gearbox?

im planning to build a 2.0 zetec turbo sierra.

You can use an MT75, Type 9 plus others Custom prop shaft.
Not to difficult. Loads of westfield use Zetec RWD.

With a type 9 or mt75 you should have no problems its been done thousands of times

T5 gearbox will bolt up to a Zetec but you need some modifications, see
http://www.mcsorley.net/locost/powertrain/default.htm

MT75 gearbox needs a modified thrust bearing, see
