Flywheel - the standard one can be used - as Matt said with the ...133 release bearing - I have one in the garage - redundant.
I think it's the Mondeo 1800 clutch plate & cover, OR I had my MkVI Escort flywheel (only 0.5kg more than a Burton "lightweight" flywheel) re-drilled to take a common or garden Pinto clutch & cover by Sutton Rebore for about £80. Works perfectly.
I recently bought the GBS steel sump which hasn't been on the road yet, but seems to seal OK - for £300, you can get a standard sump re-worked for about £250 + postage (Scottish Kit Car Centre). I used the standard Ford injection & ECU, but you'd need a non-PATS (Passive Anti Theft System) one & they'e not tunable, so restrict you to about 130bhp.
You also need a "pilot bearing" in the flywheel - the flywheel is already drilled for one - almost as if "the good Ford" forsaw our need - & they're the princely sum of £6 from Burton - but you do need one.
As Matt said, the starter is the DOHC 2.0 or 1.8CVH Sierra one, I had no end of trouble with second-hand & "refurbished" ones before I bought a geared one From a Co. who's name escapes me, but there's sticker on the car somewhere if you want it.
If you'e interested in how it's done & want the feeling of elation when the thing you put together fires & runs, then it's worthwhile. The engine's lighter, more powerful & uses less fuel. If you're doing it only to "improve the car", then selling & re-buying is also a good option.
I've been looking at the GBS steel sump, seems a good price, was slightly concerned about the sump leaking oil, the unit from tiger is not that much more though. thank you for the information on what is required, all looks fairly straight forward.
