    97-up Escort?

    Hello everyone.

    I really like "sleeper cars", so I've been thinking of getting one of those round Escorts, if a wagon even better, to make a BP/BPT transplant since they are pretty cheap and I've noticed while fixing one (my cousin's) that they share most of it's components with the earlier model Protege. Can the swap be done the same way as the earlier Escorts? Has anyone done it on one of them?
    Thanks
    P.S. I ran a search and this appeared

          you only will need to run and obd2 BP if you live in an emissions testing area..

          but yes putting a BP in a zx2 would be the same as swapping into a 2nd gen Escort LX it will work.. just might not be legal

              They are not that picky on the emission stuff as long as the engine change is registered in DOT's database. And I know a place for the tailpipe test :D
              I'm asking cuz I've never seen something like this around here, and would be fun to have an a$$ kicking rounded 4dr sedan/wagon.

                i keep thinking of picking up one, most likley a wagon and using it for work. the mounting points on the frame are all the same as any BG just need everything inbetween






                and maybe a KL swap in like a year or two

                        Those are some of the reasons I would like one of those 3rd gens. They don't grab attention to lowlifes.
                        The 2nd gen Escort has some following here and there are many modded up. I like them better, but I want something more sleepy looking
