Default Is this engine any good....

I have a XR3i cab. Want to convert it to a 2 litre 16v Zetec from a Mondeo.

Have found a nice clean ondeo close to me for £350 with 76k on.

Its a P reg, would it be an easy swap or do i need the older model...not sure if it has PAS.

in the scrappy you only get the engine though, buying the car you get everything! and if ur not familiar with the engine you get to see how it is all plumbed up (y)
sounds like a reasonable price to me
