Hi im new to the site today, but not new to playing with rusty cars, a question. i need to know weither a 1997 p reg 1.6 escort saloon, is suitable to use as a replacement engine for a 2000 x reg escort 1.6 estate, both zetec i believe, i basically need a new engine, and this one has come up locally as a failed mot car on corroded sills, but the engine is low mileage at 54.000, and i know the owner so a deal could be done cheap for the whole car. i can borrow an engine crane locally and i have the tools for the job, but i need to know if the engine is compatible, the only difference i see is that the older donor car has mechanical dials as the newer one is electronic? please help me somebody and confirm if it will be a straight forward swap on not, once the engine is out the car i plan to scrap the rest of the donor car, again thanks for your help
