You probably already know this but... Have a machine shop check it out to make sure that nothing bad happened to it. You'll probably want to have it hot tanked/boiled to get off all of the old crud anyway.
I was lucky enough to get a new '96 Zetec for the same price.
That's going to be my turbo motor. (I actually bought it for $500 but sold $350 worth of parts that I didn't need.)
Have you taken the oil pan off of your '96 Zetec yet? I'm hoping that there's oil squirters for the pistons. I heard that they got rid of them on the later model Focus Zetecs.
