sometimes, boost isn't enough.

The Merkur used the 2.3 Lima engine (can you spell Pinto) - so it's doubtful the manifold would match up to the Zetec - but maybe the turbo itself might be useful although it would have to be more than 20 years old now.
Wouldn't it be easier to buy a Zetec from a wrecker, built and boost it in your basement or garage and then swap it out over a weekend ... all the other projects you're describing would take months.
I read the whole damn thread on the "other" site where the guy from Cali did a V8 swap ... and even with the kits available it still took over a year and a half.
