Focus C-MAX 1.8 Duratec HE blown engine HELP Please!!!!!!!!!

[scott1982]

hi i have a 2004 Focus C-Max 1.8 16v Duratec HE and a conrod has gone through the block,smashed the sump and the piston has bent 2 valves so the engine is dead.
I need to find a replacement engine for a sensible price as some people are asking silly money for them also i was wondering if the 1.8 Duratec HE engine out of the mondeo of a similar age would fit some people have said it will and some say it will not.
i just need a solution and quick
Thanks

A Duratec HE is a Duratec HE. You can put a 2.0 or 2.3 in there too, they're all the same. The 1.8 and 2.0 even share manifolds.

The 1.8 out of a Volvo S40/V50 or Mazda 6 will do too if you just need a short block.

stick an advert on 24/7 spares and wait. You don't normally wait too long for the offers to come in.
