2.5L parts needed:

  • ECU
  • Engine wiring harness
  • Shifter cables and linkage (the 5 speed ones are different anyway)
  • Engine mounts
  • Trans mounts
  • Transmission
  • 2.5L VSS (vehicle speed sensor)
  • 2.5L half shafts
  • Passenger side half shaft support bearing and bracket
  • 2.5L front engine cover
  • 2.5L power steering pump
  • Power steering mounting bracket
  • 2.5L alternator
  • Power steering hoses
  • 2.5L alternator bracket
  • 2.5L tension spring pulley
  • 2.5L AC compressor (unless you're deleting AC
  • 2.5L damper or DMD
  • 2.5L front subframe (with bushings)
  • Radiator


Questionable parts:

  • Fuel pump
  • Interior harness and/or gauge cluster
  • Radiator fans
  • Fuel lines


That's all I could think of off of the top of my head. There's probably quite a few more things that would be needed once you got into the actual swap.

So, It's quite possible, and easy for experienced hands.

If you had an entire donor car's worth of parts it is possible. I would not label it an "easy" project though.


However if you already had a V6 MTX car for parts...


Also once you get into the logistics and cost involved it would be cheaper to just turbo the Zetec.

I saw that, but I'm debating. Plus, it's an ATX. I really want the MTX-75. I can find one at a local yard from a rear collision for the same price more than likely. I did consider turbo on the zetec, but it'll sound like a civic. No thanks. I want some balls.
