Sure thing buddy.

 

I guess if I were to choose between the two, I'd pick the 2.3 I guess.

And loudfocus01: feel free to try typing in paragraph format...like a big boy, mmmkay?

 

:what:

 

You enjoy talking down to me don't you Tin? Is this better for you? I know how to type in paragraph format. People complain when I type a post in a paragraph because it is "hard to read" because it all runs together, then you complain when I try to separate the sentences. Can't please everyone I guess. But for you, paragraph posts it is from now on. mmmkay?

 

It wasn't an order, just a suggestion. :dunno:

And I don't enjoy talking down to you. Don't be so arrogant. I like to talk down to everyone equally.

 

I like to talk down to everyone equally.

hahahahahaha........that's awsome. I hope you understood the sarcasm of my last post and didn't think I was actually upset. I would have put a smiley at the end of it, but I can't seem to find them.

 

Hello I'm new to this, So "Sorry" up front..lol
I just bought a 98 sport 4 dr,, It had a bad rattle.. I got it for $275.00,, I checked the plugs and found out the piston broke apart from the rod and destroyed it.. So my Question is.. I found a short block from a 98 ZX2 2.0 dohc,, Can I simply bolt the head from the sohc on the dohc and will it work? I read where the valve stem may of been the problem,, I'll check the head,, Any help?? Thanks

 

No.

And, your in the wrong forum. Try a feoa.net (Escort forum)

 

What do I need I am going from a 2003 auto SPI to a 2003 auto zetec?

I found this. But someone said not all of it is needed if I am swaping a later year than 2002.5?

Zetec Engine/Trans or reuse yours its the same housing pattern
Zetec ECU
Zetec Body Harness
Zetec Engine Harness
Zetec Engine Bay Harness
Zetec Pwr Steering pump and high pressure line from pump to rack
Zetec AC Compressor. The compressor is probably the same between spi and zetec but we swapped it IIRC.
Zetec AC Lines from accumulator -> condensor -> compressor
Zetec Throttle Cable
Zetec Pass. Motor Mount
Zetec Upper Radiator Hose $25.95 @ Tousley
Zetec Lower Radiator Hose $22.34 @ Tousley
Zetec Upper Radiator Tube (tube mounted to radiator support above fans)$15.39 @ Tousley
Zetec Alternator $142.99+$60 @ Tousley



Let me know,
Thanks

 

and if your swapping the ip5 to an mtx75.....ur also gonna need the shifter cables.......again best bet is to get a donor car

 

Wow, I did that over 2 years ago. What a nightmare. I had it professionally done. Never ran right. I had called a few on here who did the swap. ALL said they had some sort of issues and they just over looked it. NO ONE ever said anything like that in my research or I would have just done a head job and sold it.

In conclusion, if this happens to anyone and their reading it, do a head job and sell the car. Don't go through what I went through.

 

has any one done a engine trans swap from 04 2.o spi to durateck 2.0lt dohc o5 if so what is all needed

 

I'm sure it's been done, but at this point it's almost certainly cheaper just to buy a zetec-powered car rather than get a "new" drivetrain, mounts, computer, wiring harness, etc.
