Depends how you want to do it. Keep reading up on it and work out which way suits you (and the car) best. Theres no définitive answer.

Hi, I'd head over to turbosport forum if I was you. Loads of zetec conversions done to old fords with lots of options. retroford are the only company that makes a full bolt in kit for rwd zetec conversions for mk1 and mk2 escorts but I wouldn't know if that would work with your car.

oldskoolford forum is your best bet, they have a for sale section and the bits for the conversion pop up now and then.
there is always the wanted section too
they are very helpful on there

At a bare minimum youl need a water rail. And a method to control ignition ( edis is fine , 3d mappable better )
You'll need a rwd exhauast fanimold. There millions of inlets available ( rangining from your banger racer set up running a 1,4 cvh carb- through to twin carb manifolds.
The sump will depend on your sub frame clearance. You might get away with using a factory sump ( 1.8 is front bowl as in close to the crank pulley ) 2.0 is rear bowl.

If you plan to track the car or drive it hard avoid the early 1.8 sump. It will fit but you could end up with oil starvation problems as well as something which may want to puke up on track.
That's with me having 1st hand experience there as well.
The cheapest way to get a relatively surge free sump is to get one from a Mk1 Focus 1.8. having a steel lower half also means they are dead easy to add baffles to as well, if you really need to.

the FIRST thing you will have to sort is the sump, if your running consul steering you will most likely need a front bowl sump , i would get the engine mated to the box and drop it in to see what clearance you have
you might be able to get away with not buying a water rail, all depends on how far back you mount the engine
in my project i used
1.8 zetec
type 9 box
1.8 zetec flywheel and clucth
stock sump as clearance was not an issue
capri realese bearing
sierra cvh starter
stock mondeo ecu loom pats etc etc
stock thermostat housing
home made exhaust manifold
