1998 Ford Escort Engine — Part # ESC30 — Rt.43 Auto Parts, Inc. · Carrollton, OH

When replacing an engine, one of the most critical yet often overlooked factors is ensuring the exact engine configuration matches your vehicle's specifications, especially regarding engine displacement and design features like DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshaft). This listing features a high-grade (Grade A) 2.0L DOHC engine pulled from a 1998 Ford Escort, specifically identified by VIN digit 8 as '3', which confirms the DOHC configuration. The engine has been run-tested and is reported to be in good working condition with 111,000 miles. Buyers should verify that their Escort model requires a 2.0L DOHC engine to ensure compatibility, as Ford offered multiple engine options for this model year. This engine's DOHC design typically offers improved performance and efficiency over SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft) engines, which is an important consideration if you are looking to maintain or enhance your vehicle's original driving characteristics. The seller notes an estimated CO2e savings of 1194kg, which may be relevant for environmentally conscious buyers assessing the impact of engine replacement. When comparing this engine to others, consider the exact engine code and configuration, mileage, and condition grade. This engine’s Grade A status suggests minimal wear and good overall condition, but buyers should confirm the engine’s compatibility with their vehicle's VIN and engine type. The run-tested condition provides additional confidence but does not replace a thorough inspection.
