It can be done. If you have a whole donor car, it makes it easier. You have tho swap out the transmission in may cases, also have to swap out the FI wiring harness, ECM, and all the accessories (AC Pump, alternator, etc.) I would advise against it though. The Zx2 engine is a MUCH better designed engine than the 2.0 sohc in the sedan. The sohc's are notorious for dropping valve seats and causing the engine to dynamite. My 01 just did that. Its pretty much clockwork right around 120K, From what I've read, over 75% of the ones that end up in the wrecking yard, have been for that reason. Mine dropped a seat, shattered the piston, and punched a rod through the block... Since the sohc's are so hard to find, mine is getting a zetec

Can you swap a 1998 Ford Escort manual transmission into a 2003 Escort ZX2?
I believe that only 96-99 can be swapped 2000 and newer will not fit correctly.
Can you swap a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 motor in to a 1998 Ford Escort SE?
the engines used in both of these cars are different. The zx2 engine is a dohc while the escort is a sohc. Physically the zx2 engine will fit into the escort SE. To get this install to work will require wiring, ZX2 computer, fuel system upgrades. Additionally, the escort se transmission will also bolt up to the zx2 engine but will require a little work as well. This swap has been done and information for such can be found on teamzx2.com and feoa.com

This is true, but the Zetec engine of the zx2 has 2 overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder, whereas the 98 escort lx has 1 overhead camshaft and 2 valves per cylinder. Can't be swapped. They are 2 different engines.

What are the engine swap laws in New Jersey?
I can't find the documentation, but the basic law is that the engine you swap in must be from a vehicle that is the same year or newer as the vehicle that you are installing the engine. So if you car is a 2000, you can swap in any engine from any car that is a 2000+ model, but any engine from 1999 or earlier is off limits. It's a good idea to have legit paperwork to prove the origin of the engine as well.
