i'm wondering if the 2.0 pinto is a straight bolt in to replace the gutless 1.8 cvh which it will replace, also will the 5 speed box mate up to it cheers

type 9 wil mate to it, might have to make a new "thing" (the thin piece of metal that goes between the ghearbox and engine) as the starter holes are different (well they are for the xflow to pinto anyway.
apart from that i think its a straight forward job, if you can get them in escorts without being too much of a pain the a sierra shouild be plain sailing ;D ;D
oh, now i come to think avbout it there are 2 different splines for the gearbox, the 1600 pinto is different to the 2 litre, but not sure about the cvh

Have a look on the Ford Sierra Owners Club forum, forum.fordsierraclub.co.uk/index.php, they are very friendly there and have loads of useful info, it gets my friend with the 2.9 4x4 out of trouble on a daily basis. |

found this out accidentally a few years ago when my mate bought a 1.6 sierra to replace his 2.0 he parked on a wall! we swapped 2.0 into 1.6 with gearbox, and 1.6 rear axle is better! apparently same gearing as xr4i (without discs tho) (maybe 4x4 and 2wd cossie too?) also 1.6 diesel . not sure bout 1.8 cvh gearing tho? wasnt much it couldnt play with anyway  |

XR4i has drums on the back not discs  Best to just get a type-9 from a 2.0 Sierra I'd say and stick it all in. |

XR4i has a 3.62:1 diff, and I'm pretty sure the 2.0 pinto engined ones are too.

Sure I pulled a set of four calipers of a 4i we broke  . I could be wrong though! The Cologne 2.8 V6 and Type 9 box would fit too! ;D |

Nope no disks on the back of a 4i  Lots tend to have the XR4x4 back axle though because you get an LSD and disks with the swap. Disks may have been an option, an LSD was, but I aren't sure. |

do you know if your current gearbox is an mt75 or a type 9? don't know of any other gearboxes used by ford in the sierra ! (apart from auto)
