As far as a i know nobody has fitted a Zetec S into any Quantum (I think
there are some in Xtremes).
The main differences are:
Inlet and exhaust are on opposite sides of the engine.
Different engine and gearbox mountings.
Other than that the only problems are likely to be electrics, you will
need The Zetec-S loom, ecu and matching PATS key.
You may be able to solve some of the gearbox mounting issues by fitting
the Mk3 Fiesta mounting onto the Zetec-S gearbox but I'm not certain
they will fit as the starter moved to a new location on the Zetec-S.
It's still basically the same gearbox.
There may also not be any Zetec-S's without the hydraulic clutch, not
sure if earlier ones still used a cable.
Your existing driveshafts should fit the later gearbox.
It should fit no problem, i did measure one up for fitting in a saloon
and it was a similar size to the CVH.
The main problem fitting the silver top Zetec in the Saloon is the
width, it has been covered on here several times in the past.
A search back should find details.

I have a nice little H4 currently running a 1600 Zetec Silver Top. As
my son gets nearer and nearer to his 17th birthday, I'm looking into
options for insurability. I want to explore The Possibility of
swapping the existing engine and gear box for a Black top 1.25 Zetec S
engine and box from a newer vehicle, que Should be lighter in weight
and not that much less powerful. I know lots of people go the other
way and fit larger Zetecs ... 1.8 or 2 liter ... but I want to
downsize at this stage. What are the Differences Between the silver
and black top engines Regarding fitting? Has anyone done this swap? Is
it reasonably possible? What parts need changing? I want Also to look
into re-deploying the 1600 Silver top in my other Q, a saloon: after
all, there's nothing wrong with it and my saloon has a 1989 vintage
CVH engine of unknown overall condition, so any thoughts on That would
Also be useful.
Thanks!
