It depends on how much you want to spend and the anticipated outcome. Best to fit a Zetec for minimum fuss and less frontal weight, plus it's a well supported swap which the old cossy isn't.
Not saying it can't be done though, but have a look here for ideas:

RWD gearbox is the problem. I did think about the VW 4 cylinder engines as they drive nice.
