ISTR on the silvertop that the Escort and Mondeo waterpumps could 'do the
same job' but ran in opposite directions (not expressed well but you know
what I mean) - is that not the case for the blacktop?

I second the need to remove a lot of the sump webbing to fit the starter,
but mine went into a north-south layout.
Carbs are always an option if you don't want the expense of injection and
ecus.
The blacktop engines do have some other nice design features - such as the
builtin windage tray in the sump, and on the 2 litre there are oil jets into
the underside of the piston crowns.
One other issue that people sometimes raise is the direction of rotation of
the waterpump. On the silver tops you can just change the pump, but there
isn't an oem reversed waterpump for the blacktop.
Plenty of people run it backwards without problems.
I used a custom reversed impeller imported from the States.
