Okay, So another quick update for those who are following this thread. There are obviously differences between the two motors (escort vs focus). So today I started piecing together everything to make it work. So i learned that the following are different and need to be swapped to fit/work together:
-the waterpump is different (fits on both, but are different)
-the timing belt covers are different (one on focus has motor mount that connects to it)
-one of the timing belt tension pulleys are different (escorts is larger than the focus)
-Alternator mount needs to be swapped
-Fuel Rail
-Windage trey and oil pan also needs to be swapped in order for the transmission to fit properly.

I cleaned up and painted the focus parts to replace to escort motors (waterpump, alternator mount, etc) so i will upload an image with everything swapped over once its finished.

above is my first problem with the motor swap, haha
these are two different tension pulleys for the different zetec motors. notice the size difference and the escorts large bump on the back.

I have to somehow make the focus one mount to where the escort one used to sit (keep in mind the bolts to install the pulleys are different sizes as well, hense the bump).

I know what you're all thinking too, why dont I just leave the escort pulley on...I would like to but I can't, due to the timing belt / motor mounting bracket hits the pulley due to its larger size and wont install. sooo yeah.
