nah not restricted mate, is it the 1.6? if so you could drop the 2l mondeo engine and ecu with your loom and gear box for 130-140 bhp and have enough for a cheep repair

no mate use the si gearbox and drive shaft i do belive the cluch and flywheel on the 2l mondeo fits the si box straight up i would test fit out the car tho just in case if not you just put them off the si engine onto the 2l block you may need to open the bolts up on the flywheel but im sure its only the cvh's this is done on. as for the ecu it must be the DESK DEWY or DEEP ecu from the mondeo then its all plug and play mate
would ask someone who has actually done this but im 99% sure this is correct mate
