I've got a 2 litre Zetec engine, originally from a 2001 mondeo, I'm pretty sure the cylinder head gasket or head is gone,

It seems easier to just by a new engine and swap it, rather than fix it. How do I now which engine will be compatible with my current ECU (which is standard ford)

Is there an easy way to find out before I buy the engine ?

dont thik you will have any problems with the ECU I think this is only problematic if you dont have the coded ignition key. Obviously go for a black top if thats what youve got not a silvertop are ou running the blacktop

As long as its the same type of engine it will be fine.
