Engine Swapsies

Recommended Posts

Looks like my dad may be getting rid of his mondeo estate, but he's been quoted stupidly low prices on its value, like £200 low. For that kinda money, id buy it off him, just for the engine.

1. Whats the difference between my 1.8 Zetec 115bhp and his 2.0 Zetec 130bhp

2. Would that 2.0 Ltr Zetec fit straight into my escort, or would it involve major surgery.

3. Could i just take bits off it to put onto mine to improve the power of my engine

 

Any help appreciated :thumb:

Yep, I've got a mondeo Si 2.0 in mine.........it all fits although the engine mounts have to be changed, and you keep the 1.8 flywheel and clutch...Oh and by the way.........the engine and box does'nt just lift out of the scort..........you have to lift the car and drop it out of the bottom.... :O

no idea if it will work, would invole at lot of work i would imaging! would u d=be doing the work its self and would it be worth spending the monie on normal modds and try and get a extra 15bhp that way?

yeah but think of the extra torque and the tuning capability of the 2.0. If he did simple mods he could get it close to 150bhp which is standard RS2000 territory.........
