Forgot my name already rob, im offended! lol. yea thats me, 1.3 to 1.8xr3i swap, did that exact thing, i can tell u pretty much anythin you need to know as did it all myself but trust me, it aint easy. engine n box went in pretty easy but wirin was a cow, had to re-wire entire car as the looms are completely different. u might not have to re-wire entire car as the models of the escorts are the same, but still a pretty long assed job. any questions just gimmie a shout. craig
