changing from sohc to dohc - blue_light - 07-05-2010

With the engine done in my car I want to replace the sohc motor with a ztec dohc with transmission, Is this a difficult project? From what I know is motor mounts and ecu need to be changed but is this all?

with the zetec cars going for so cheap its probably best to buy a zetec car and swap your stuff over....spend some time fixing the zetec powered car and gave a good car. Or better yet a durratec and do a 00-04 front end swap.......

but does the drivetrain match up the same?

Nope ... different trannies ... hence Hardkore's suggestion above.
