Zetec currently has mt75 box but box is shot so would be keeping type 9 fitted

Anyone have any experience in this sort of thing? Also how easy would a straight engine swap be with regards wiring etc and are there any benifits for going down the zvh route?

Cvh was from 92 sierra and zetec is from 99 focus

Cheers in advance......

Don't bother with the zvh as its a lot of money and the zetec is a better engine.
Go with the 92 sierra cvh to get the car iva'd as with the 99 Zetec you'll need a cat for the exhaust emissions
You could always fit the zetec after you've got the car on the road.
