Hi guys,
Just wondering what needs to be done to change the pinto to a 2.3 duratec...? if i were to get a engine and loom?
Sump? Bellhousing? flywheel clutch? mounts? waterlines?
Does anyone know?
Thanks.

From what I've seen the sump is the biggest drama, you would have to dry sump it or make a complete sump from scratch.
As far as the rest of the install goes it probably isn't any harder than any other engine swap out there, thinking of Zetec here, but like Mark said water rail, wiring, injection etc would need a custom approach.
