Default Mk1 Escort 2ltr conversion - Help!

I am looking at putting a 2ltr cortina/sierra engine into my Mk1.

If you have done this or something similar before I would very much appreciate your advice.

Did you strike any problems, how did you solve them? I am going to be running a 5 speed sierra box & one piece drive shaft.

Also, I am going to bore the head, what pistons could I use to maximise depth and compression? I want the biggest I can possibly fit!

I also want to keep this muscle - ie no turbo or fuel injection.

Also, any suggestions on diffs? I am not too concerned about top end speed, but also dont want to blow a diff if I should feel like the odd skid. Since the drive shaft will be custom made the difference in flange shouldnt be a problem.

Any suggestions gratefully welcomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
