Heres my problem. I have a 99 escort, i think its an se. A piece of the spark plug broke off nd shot into the engine killing it. My friend has a 1997 Escort with a transmission thats going bad. Will a 99 transmission fit in a 97 escort? Will a 97 engine fit in a 99 escort? And which would be easier swapping out the engine or the transmission?
Transmission or Engine swap.

Auto or stick?
the 97 and 99 engines can be swapped, just have to keep the fuel system that is currently in the car. The trans will swap if it is manual. If it is automatic, then the trans will not swap without a good deal of work.
If it is automatic, and your friend lives in CT... I know someone with a 97 auto trans with less than 100k miles for sale

They are both automatics. And I'm from RI so CT is close.
