Engine Swap, Help Needed?
Hi, I'm soon to swap out the engine in my ford escort MK4. It currently has a worn out 1.3 HCS engine in it, and is run by carburettor. I've found a 1.6 automatic engine from a escort MK6, but it's also fuel injected. I was told that I can remove the existing manifold on the auto engine, and put mine straight onto it so I can run carburettor'd. I was also told that I can remove the converter or whatever, and install my gearbox onto the engine to make it manual. Is this true? As I don't want to go buying the engine if it's not possible, I'd prefer manual & keeping it carburettor'd so I don't have to mess around replacing or cutting into the wiring loom.
Yes manifold swaps and flywheel changes ought to fit in without issues though. As we're going up in engine size our existing carb won't do the job plus insurance for modified car will take a hike!
Best to check cost of insurance and lower resale value as modded etc before taking plunge.
Better off simply fitting an exchange engine, reconditioned.
As a mk4 Escort is only worth a few hundred quid is it really worth the hassle? Any engine you get will probably be almost as worn as yours.
Different radiator and rear engine mount, too
- Possible engine swap from 3.0 to 4.0 on 1994 Ford Ranger XL 4x4 manual? I'm wondering if I can drop a V6 4.0L engine straight into a V6 3.0L Ford Ranger XL? Both are 1994 ford rangers, everything the same as far as model/year just different size engine… And if not, what would need to be converted? I found a 4.0 for $250 with 0 miles so if its as simple as swapping engines/trannys I'm going to go for it… Thanks for help!

I really want to add a good chunk of horse power to my ford ranger, and the only way i'm seeing that happen is with a complete engine swap and probably tranny too. What engines will fit without too much hastle? Please keep in mind that the more horses and torque the better.
