Ford Sigma Engine - Anyone Using One Of These?

Just musing on engine choices if i was to change as the old pinto is getting smokey and i'm not sure the relative cost of rebuild vs upgrading to a more modern engine.

 

I could get a bell housing http://www.rwdmotorsport.com/zetec-se-to-ford-gearbox-bellhousing.htmlfor £189 to fit an SE,

 

they do a 1.4 that makes 96 PS (71 kW; 95 hp), 125 N⋅m (92 lb⋅ft) in the 2008–Present Ford Fiesta Mk7 according to wiki. This would be far more than the 75bhp my 1.6 pinto makes and would be a lighter engine. In theory my tax would then drop by ~£100 a year, so would pay for itself in a few years.

 

Does the zetec SE have the exhaust the same side as the pinto? i'm trying to minimise changes so would exit through same hole and i could reuse current exhaust mostly.
