i have a 91 escort 5 sp the motor blew at 5000rpm in 2nd gear it was not smoaking or making any noise at all. do you think i should put a 2.0 in how hard would it be to do that and what all do i need

WHAT were you doing at 5000RPM in second gear? :eek:
You long since passed your usable torque curve IMHO. :mad:

Go for it! Drop in a 2.0L and call it a day... :roll:

5,000 RPM's is'nt that bad. That is at the very top of the power band, but it does get you in the right spot for the next gear.
Yeah but geeeeezzzz, the 1.9L really likes the 2500-4000 range and you'll never blow em with those RRRRR's. :lol:

yes the moter did blow ther is a hole through the front of it and two in the oil pan but i have looked around and found me a 98 2.0 for 350$ so im just going to get that and see how it works..
I only got two holes in my motor when my valve seat dropped. But then again, I was probably only doing 2000RPM's.

For the 98 motor to work you will NEED the fuel rail from a 97 motor. It won't work without that.
