Here's some pics of my progress on this friggin engine swap (1997 Escort SPI)man is it a pain lol.

The new engine









New MTX


2struts lower control arms and axles free with the engine/tranny


Cap'n we're losing oil! My brother hit the oil pan when we were pulling out the exhaust and dumped it all over hehe.


As cleaned up as I could get lol.

Yeah it's a huge mess stupid FWD is so annoying. We have to take the engine and tranny out as a unit. We needed more room to work so we took the intake/exhaust off. The head was already off because we tore it down to see why it was making that horrid racket hehe.

The new engine came from a wrecked/rollver and the oilpan and oilcatch was busted up. I used my old engine oilpan and oil catch.





Old engine oil catch I removed.
