Yeah, it's another Focus. I'm just wondering if there's enough of a difference between a Focus Zetec and an Escort Zetec to make a difference, not to mention getting into the whole transmission, cv-shaft, motor mount thing. But say I had a whole Escort donor car, transmissions were interchangeable (auto to auto), etc... Motor mounts would still have to be figured out, amidst other things. It's just an idea, I just...

I'd investigate online to see what the part numbers were for the motor mounts for both engines. It might be that it uses the same mount, if it looks the same, fits in the same spot- you should be able to make it work since you have the other side of the mount on each version of the engine.

I have a a cougar with the VCT zetec....same as the ZX2. Want my opinion? Don't bother wasting the time & money on it. Its the same motor just adds VCT to the exhaust cam & gives you a more stable powerband compared to the Focus one. I think most every one I saw on a dyno in stock form hit the same power numbers, compared to the focus which goes from 100-115. The VCT is there mainly for emissions, it did give a little...

Hi I'm new to this site and seeking some info. I had a 2002 focus SE with 254,000 km on it when the motor passed away. We liked the focus so now we have purchased a 2001 focus zts. When we test drove it, it ran beautifully and shifted great. After buying it 15 minutes later the trans(auto) started to shift up and down violently. So bad so that it stalled the engine out several times. Eventually I was stuck on the road trying to get home...

I remember this thread from awhile back - been some time now. But its good to see you've kept it going! Rock-On man! seriously get her done and make those Focus haters pay. Get some numbers when your done and enjoy her! I will be waiting to see the final results, good-luck.

wow, i got like 10pages(40post/page) through this and just skipped to the end... just too much BS and zero info. what are the problems you are having with your swap. please be as specific as possible and i will do my best to sort them out for you. i noticed a few big mistakes right away though... you need to find out what year the engine, trans, ECU and wiring harness all came from. there are return and returnless Contours AND SVT-C's so...
