[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16113115, member: 39344"] They have been prevalent in Chump/Lemons for a while. Cheap and a lot of parts available that can be retrofitted to the older Escort. The ZX2 S/R would be killer in factory form with the revised PCM calibration. I’d bet that car could make 170hp with some fuel tuning and a header/high flow exhaust system. I’d still want to throw a Duratec 2.3 in it. The ZX2 still had the VCT Zetec engine which wasn’t too bad but still had the cam timing issues of the SVT but without the CMCV intake manifold. I cannot state how much I hate the Ford variable cam timing from that era. It was complicated and very prone to failure. I’d bet the 2.3 would fit with some small engine mount modifications and the computer/harness from a ZX4 Focus. And just to clarify, the Focus 2.3 into an earlier Focus hatch would be easy as the chassis only got marginal updates. So a lot of the mounting points, suspension and electronics could theoretically swap over without much fuss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
