Default Escort 1800 upgrade

Hi, I've fitted a 2 lt Mondeo throttle body and MAF valve to my 105bhp Escort and now want to fit 2 lt Mondeo camshafts and ECU. Will the camshafts change straight over or do I need any other parts. What ECU code number would I need eg "OWLS". I have PATS on my car but have been told that there is a way of by passing the wiring. I would appriciate any help / advice

cams fit straight in

130ps ecu codes:

92/93......92FB12A650BC (short code 2FBC)
92/93......92FB12A650BD (short code 2FBD)
93/94......92FB12A650BE (short code 2FBE)

however i don't know the difference between any of them (i'm after one my self as i've just performed a similar upgrade. hard to find though)

general rules with MAF is to match to ECU - so use the 1.8 130ps spec MAF with 130ps spec ECU.

If you click on the following link it lists all the Ford ECU codes, might be useful.
