Is it a direct swap? as in all I have to do is take the 1.8 out and put the 2.0 in?
My cabriolet engine is getting tired now and for the price of a new engine may as well buy one of these?

Actually for half the money I could buy this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-FOCUS-1-8...QQcmdZViewItem
But they both say they are from the Focus range and mine is a 97 Escort so would everything line up as it should?

I know wharts needed for a fiesta so i presume its the same for a scort.
You will need to put a 1.8/1.6 sump and pickup on the 2.0 to get it to fit into the bay. Will also need 1.6/1.8 waterpump as 2.0 runs opposite direction. Use a 2.0 ecu and maf and your away.
Will also need rs1800/focus inlet and an rs1800/st170\four branch exhaust manifold to get maximum potentential out of the engine.
You might have problems if your car is internal edis rather than external like my fiesta is.
