Finally found the right clutch so our combination is 1999 2.0L blacktop Zetec, 1.8L Zetec flywheel, 1993 1.8L Mondeo clutch, 1990 mtx75 Sierra gearbox. We had to modify the release bearing pivot point as the bearing was too far away from the new clutch. We did this by taking out the old pivot and making a longer one then used a nut on the back to secure it.
We managed to get the brake lines finished and we're ready to run the fuel lines so we thought we might as well plonk the engine and gearbox in. We had to hump it from one end of garage to the other because sods law the car was the wrong way around, the caravan was in the way to turn the car and the bar with the hoist on was too far away from the engine. We struggled a bit but got there in the end. Everything lined up great but we made a bit of an error originally by putting the engine too far back without the thermostat housing on and when we have put it back on it doesn't fit! ooops. We can get around this though by making are own water rail.
