Oneironz Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) Hello Ford enthusiasts! There is a Ford Escort Station that is quite special to me, due to it being the car of my childhood, while also being the 1st car I EVER drove. It very recently got its engine totaled. Rotten head gaskets, along some other rotten components, caused the temperature to rise incredibly, leading to a stuck engine. The car belongs to my uncle, who will store the car for me, until I can take ownership of the car. The engine block is pretty much dead, no point in repairing it, so I am thinking about doing an engine swap, or simply buy the same engine, the 1.8 TD Endurade. I really need some help, what should I do? Since money is kind of tight, I do have a place where I can work on the car, along a group of mechanic friends. Also, I live in Portugal, it might be an important information, or not. Thank you, Oneironz Edited May 13, 2016 by Oneironz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacuman Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Either get another engine the same (easy), get a complete petrol engine car (Zetec 1. and swap EVERYTHING; fuel tank, wiring, ECU, etc. (medium) or get a black top 2.0 Zetec and all the bits needed to make it work in your Escort (hard). Maybe in Portugal you are not permitted to make such changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
