Default Swap Focus ST 170

Hi Everybody!
I introduce myself: Jean , french from St Etienne, I started building a roadster Haynes with the books of Chris Gibbs two years ago.
Now, the car is finished with a 1.8 sohc engine from aSierra and a T9 gearbox.

Recently, I have bought a st170 bloc , and I hope swap this engine instead of the 1.8 ( I hope you follow me, because my english is not very well)

Now, I am looking for links or blogs or pictures, that show how the engine and its accessories are mounted.
Thank you in advance for your many answers!
Cheers
Jean

The CVH woul dgive you the correct sump and oil pickup for the Zetec.

Sorry for the long time before my response Twinturbo!
Well, I think it's a cvh but I'm not sure
If somebody knows where I can find a workshop manual about this engine,
please tell me
