No, it is not standdard
625+cold cranking amps or more
modify the drivers side engine mount and it is a straight drop in
No , it is not an interference engine ( according to the Gates website , they make timing belts etc. )
They both will be good part cars, the difference between laser and talon are bumpers, wheels, and steering wheel logo. make sure they have same engine size and engine model (turbo or not). The 94 will have a newer version of the 2.0L so things like dipstick, axels, head (bolt pattern), pistons, rods, crankshaft, timing setup, oil pan.
Yes, they are interchangeable, but if you plan to put a 95 motor in a 92, do not do it. The 7bolt motors experience crankwalk, which is bad. But if you're putting a 92 motor in a 95, go for it! I just finished putting a 91 motor in my 95. It's quite a bit of work, and you have to know what you're doing. There are plenty of guides out there for a 6bolt swap.
450cc is the factory size. Wont support anything over the factory turbo, or 15psi of boost, safely that is.
No. Only pre-1991 Escorts (generation 1) were interference engines. All escorts from 91 up are all non-interference engines. Gates says the the 2.0 SOHC engine is an interference engine. This is not right. Gates is wrong.
autozone.com check out this site,type in you're vehicle info and follow the instuctions. good luck. The answer is located under the question for where is the fuel filter for a 1992 Eagle Talon? On my 91 talon, it is on the firewall, just left of center and it is an sob to r&r. Rechecked after installing as mine has leaked and I had to replace it as it was not quite right.
ive got a 91 eagle talon also, the transmission is great. works perfect and all. BUT the reverse dosent work at all.. so in other words, all other gears work perfect. EXCEPT reverse. not sure of this problem.
the thermostat is located where the top hose of your radiator goes to the engine block under the aluminum housing. best resource for changing the the Hayes manuel for that year. cheap and good resource for anything YOU can do yourself
