Before you plug for a 2.0 zetec. See if you can find one. 1.8 is a good option if not.
Engine is a given.
Flywheel, either a billet steel or a 1.8 zetec flywheel. Ideally drilled for a pinto clutch. If not an early 1.8 mondeo clutch with the 220mm
1" 23 spline centre and then you need a cct133 thrust bearing.
A starter. You may be able to re use the pinto with a spacer or your looking for a Lucas Lrs707 or there are rumours a Transit Connect is a good
option. If money isn't a big consideration then the Powerlite version of the Lrs707 is the dogs danglies.
Alternator. You can make almost anything fit and work but the 40a Denso is popular. Make a bracket at the budget end of the market upto
RetroFord's being one of the nicest on the market.
Exhaust manifold. There arnt the choices there used to be. Gbs is cheap and cheerful.
Sump. Bottom of the tree is cutting and shutting a zertec sump. Top of the tree at nearly £600 is the Raceline sump. In the middle and well
recommended is Neil Dunne's f2 sump. There are a few others that are similar.
If you have a megajolt then great if not I would check out the rep of Nodiz before spending your cash. A lot use Canems and Omex.
Engine mounts.
Spigot bearing
Its the little bits that add up.

Don't forget your exhaust will swap sides, so include new / fixed body work.

Before you start I would ask yourself the Q "what am I doing this for, what am I hoping to achieve? & at what sort of cost in both time
& money."
If, having answered the above & decided it's still worth doing ask yourself another Q "Are there other ways of achieving the same or
very similar goals without so much time & hassle"
Quite frankly looking at the list Big Wasa has given & add to that swapping exhaust side & resulting bodywork, plus a whole myriad of other
silly things that will arise along the way - something will foul something else, there won't be clearance for xyz etc etc would be enough to put
a lot of people off& will you finish up with something a bit like Frankenstein's monster?
If you just want more performance, could you not tune the Pinto - turbo maybe?
If that's not the answer then would it not be cheaper to sell what you have & buy what you want with the right engine setup already
installed. Also, what is the fascination with the Zetec - would a Duratec not be a better bet (no idea if that's easier or harder to do?) or if
looking at another car something with the Mazda mechanicals
It just sounds like a huge amount of work in both time & money to achieve what, something a bit more modern (not necessarily better!), save a bit
of weight & gain a bit of performance - would it significantly increase the value of the car?
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
