Types Of Engines

[TheJugs]

I am currently trying to source a donor engine for my 1999 2.3 inj. Someone on ebay is advertising a 2.2 Zet engine, looks the same as mine, but is it ? Didnt think there was a 2.2.

There isn't a 2.2, yours is an updated I4 engine found only in Galaxies, Scorpios and Transits, it's the same engine mechanically as the old 2.0 Sierra twin cam found in late Sierras and early Mondeos.

Does anybody know the engine numbers, I believe there is carb & injection variants, is there a difference between the engines ? When looking I have seen some with a block type unit which the plug leads are attatched to. I assume this is the carb version as its not present on mine.

There are also 8 valve and 16 valve variants.

 

However, you want the 2.3 16 valve DISTRIBUTORLESS engine which was ONLY fitted to Galaxies (Common), Scorpios (Very Rare) and Transits (Very Rare) from 1996 onward.

 

If you see one the chances are it'll be from a Galaxy and will therefore fit nicely.

Many thanks for this info 'sepulchrave', much appriciated.

Many moons ago there was a member on here who fitted a scorpio engine, IIRC it sounded like a pig of a job as various mounting points were wrong.

Use the search button, if it helps I think it was about 3 years ago.

 

 

EDIT

 

I got bored and searched for the thread myself, turns out my memory is a little patchy to say the least, it was the 2.0 engine the op was transplanting. Still, it is a good indicator on how different the same basic engine can be across different applications.
