This swap is not as easy as dropping in a PI engine in, say, a 96-00, but you can do it with a bit o' effort.
You will need:
96-97 fuel rails
96-02 intake plenum/egr
96-02 throttle, cruise, etc. cables
96-03 zip/intake tube
IF you get a 03+ PI engine from a Vic (or get a PI engine from another Ford), you will need to swap over your original oil pan and pickup to the new engine.
Other things you will want to reuse from the '94:
- Exhaust manifolds
- Motor mounts (only if you get a 03+ engine or one from a non-panther)
- Water pump (if you want to keep the mech. fan)
- Every sensor that will physically fit on the PI engine
- Coil packs from the '94
Things to customize:
- EGR tube
- Second coolant sensor will need a hole drilled/tapped on the front coolant crossover.
- Engine harness will require several connectors to be swapped, and wires will have to be lenghtened to match the new locations of the sensors (mostly in the manifold).
- One of the mounting brackets for the coil packs will need to be modified to fit on the front cover. I forget which one.
That's all I can think of right now. Hope this helps a bit.
