Hey guys i got a task that i need help with. Im looking to do an engine swap and get a turbo installed for my scort. Now i know im gonna do some other things to the engine but as soon as i get it im gonna have a speed shop install the engine along with the turbo that goes along with it. If anybody knows of any places where i can get a fast engine or what type of engine to get some people recommended me to get a KZ-LE engine but i have no idea what that is or get a GTX/GT engine if anybody knows of any places selling these and what's the based price for one then that would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 1993 Ford Escort LX. Four Door Hatchback. 122,000 miles on it. Automatic Transmission.

Go To www.corksport.com on the main page on the left hand side there are a group of links click on J-Spec Engines. The engines are used out of wrecked cars and they have less than 50,000 miles on them they have two for the escort around 1200 I think not sure though you will have to go thee and find out. They also have performance parts for the escorts.

if you still are wanting to do the engine swap i would recomend the SPI 2.0L out of the 97 escort. The engine is easer to swap then the GTX or the GT-R, you dont need a GT donor car. Its preaty much plug and play with the LX since its built on the same CVH block. You can also turbo charge it which i know a few people that have/are. Its just an idea.
