2.0 SOHC VS. 2.0 DOHC (zetec)

[superstock]

I have a 97 escort with the 2.0 SOHC in it which died on me... looking for a new engine and found several escort zetec's for sale, i know that they would bolt up and I would need the computer from the zetec car but does anyone know if the wiring is the same or would i need a wiring harness as well.

Thanks for Any Help.

Not many of us here could help you with that. Try feoa.net, they are more ford guys with zetecs, we are pretty much all mazda guys here. Good luck.

yes you would need the wireing harnes zetec and a very different motor despite its similarites to the 1.9 and 2.0 sohc cvh motors.

incorrect! the zetec can run just fine off teh 2.0L spi wiring. hop over to feoa.net adn look into the gen2 section a guy names jeffsescortlx is on the ball and did this swap just as you are asking.

hmmm..... am i thinking incorrectly and thinking of the vct engines? guessing zetecs dont have variable valve timeing.

vct is a zetec.
