Looks really good man. Im also interested in how much the price tag is. Did you pick up the engine locally or did you order it?
Good Job on the swap.

900$ Canadian he said in one of his post.Nice engine!

Marlon · Post by **Marlon** » May 6th, 2003, 4:27 pm

900 for the engine and 900 for labour (cnd)
then all the little stuffonly prob is i'm using my stock tranny with stock clutch cause i couldn't find a low km g series tranny in time, so when i shift at high rpms into the next gear it slips , so i can't chrip secoundsso if your doing the swap, get a good clutch, i have a Fidanza Flywheel and act mx-6 clutch that will solve the problem when i do the tranny swap in a couple months

im gonna keep the stock tranny and just upgrade clutches, what ecu and wiring harness are you using?[ May 06, 2003: Message edited by: Ryencool ]

i'm using a escort gt ecu and harness
you can use your stock harness but then u don't get vics and u gotta use your stock injector wirring harnessi think it';s easyer my way

Will the engine out of an escort gt be the same thing?? Because as to my understanding it looks the same but do they have the same power ratings?
