Yes, the 1992 Mercury Topaz and the 1991 Ford Tempo are essentially the same car. Both models were part of the same platform developed by Ford and shared many of the same components and characteristics.

First of all, what is a radiator motor?
Possibly. Look at the model # on each transmission. If they are the same, then they are interchangeable.
check front axle bearings.

If you have to replace the lines, then just follow the path. The lines are in the middle of the car going to the back, and if not in the middle, then check the rails on the sides, down from the master.
Look at your radiator. Find the upper hose. Follow it towards the engine. At the end will be your thermostat housing. Guess whats inside?
I am sure it will not. Call any salvage yard and they will tell you. I hope this helps you. Mark
Only the 2.3L HSC Inline 4 will fit in the 1986 Mercury Topaz. If everything in the engine bay were gutted, perhaps something larger such as a 3.0L V6 from a 1992-1994 model MIGHT fit but it would require a complete running 92-94 Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz with the V6 engine as a donor car (and, if you could find such a car, it would be more worth your time/money to invest in it v.s. a 1986 model). The automatic transmission from a Taurus WILL NOT WORK in a Tempo/Topaz.
You need to get a pair of special "U" shaped tools that insert into the sides of the radio and it just pulls out. You can purchase these from any parts store or Walmart.
