Default will it fit

hey everyone , i have blown my engine in my car and would like to no if this engine will fit and will my gearbox join it

my car is a 1.8 16v zetec si 1996,

and this is the new engine spec of the engine i will be getting minus the gear box

Ford zetec escort fiesta 16v 1.8 litre 130bhp engine 96
out of escort si cab

the engine has done a genuine 50,000 miles maybe a bit more but have the clocks from the car and the mot's to prove milleage
car was in mint running order when engine was removed
also come with 2 litre mondeo injectors
the block still has the original ford black paint on it
oil and filter always changed every couple of months same with spark plugs
only things that are not included are the ht leads oil filler cap and the gearbox starter motor comes with it but no alternator, basicly everything you see in picture



thanks

would have thought it will be a straight swap, its pretty much the same engine.

you may need to change the ecu to suit but other than that it should be a slot in direct replacement

cool , thanks guys i was just making sure because on the efi unit the throttle cable is on the right passenger side etc and mine at the moment is on the drivers side as long as engine goes on the same mounts etc all good ,

can i use my gearbox i have then on this ?

and all that needs changing is the ecu and then the chip for the key ?
