The endura engine is a completly different design and would need a massive amount of modifications to make it work,including all the engine electronic systems.If you want to do an engine swap,then you will need to find the exact same motor.

The Endura engine was also used in the Fiesta so it will physically fit.

BUT

The engine loom will be different, the ECU will be different and that is just for starters.

Best just to buy another engine the same as yours, loads about.
