St170 motor will bolt straight up to the type 9 using the clutch and flywheel you have. The ST motor is just a zetec with some mods.
Beware though, there are conflicting opinions on using the vvt and not. Using it either requires an ecu capable of actually controlling the vvt
properly(not just an on off switch) or running a separate vvt controller.
Other option is to do away with the vvt and fit a set of cat cams, though at £800 a set it's a bit heart breaking!

That is the way I'm thinking of going. Have a complete ST170 waiting. All I'm short of at the mo' is a 1.8 flywheel, short sump,
engine mounts. Car failed MoT on brakes, a couple of bushes and number plate and there is a temptation to fix it and use it for a bit.
