Hi Aidan
I believe there are a few options open
As the 2 Litre flywheel is so heavy, most folk opt for the much lighter 1.8 Zetec one.
Possibly if using the original 2 Litre flywheel you will most likely be able to use the standard CCT132 Sierra release bearing.
If using the standard flywheel you'll need to find a clutch friction plate that is the same diameter as the Zetec one & has a 1" 23 spline centre.
The standard sump can be adapted to suit but again, most folk opt for the 1.8 Zetec one or a lowered 1.8 CVH one.
You'll need a 1.8 CVH starter motor as I believe the zetec one fits the wrong side of the engine for the type 9 gearbox .
A spiggot bearing will be needed for the flywheel, this will support the type 9 gearbox input shaft.
Very easy to fit as the Zetec crankshaft is already drilled to accept it. The bearing can be got directly from Ford or found on Ebay.
Finally you may want to use the 1.8 CVH sandwich plate between engine & gearbox ..... That said, I don't think they are very easy to get hold of .... So at a guess, I would say that folk either alter the Zetec one or just don't bother to use one !!??
Here's my set up
1.8 Zetec engine, from a 1992 Mk5 Escort
Lowered 1.8 Zetec sump
Mk1 1.6 / 1.8 Mondeo clutch cover & friction plate
QH CCT133 Clutch release bearing
1.8 CVH starter & sandwich plate
Flywheel spiggot bearing
Ford Capri Mk1 clutch cable
Type 9 Gearbox
I hope this is of some help to you .
