The 2.0 in my daughter's car has finally given up completely. We pulled the head off and found that the #2 Piston was broke in two pieces. It looks like rebuilding may not be a good option. Not really sure where all the pieces went. I am wondering if a newer model Zetec motor like the one in the Focus, etc. would be compatible with the 95 GL? Need to get her back on the road soon.

Focus one is about the same size, I have seem then before and they appear to be about the same size. However if they arent you will need to get new mounts to support it. Also plan on getting a new wiring harness, and a PCM, and most likely a few other things.

Why dont you just rent or buy a engine hoist, and a Haynes manual and the parts you need and fix your engine, it is cheaper by a long shot than swapping a newer engine for an older one.
