You need to stick to an Escape or Tribute engine 01-04. The 05 up engines use a different ECU and wiring harness.

The engine is stupid easy to swap. No need to remove the transmission or drive shafts.

The hardest thing to do is to remove the alternator and the front headers. No need to remove the rear headers for removal or installation.

Thank you for your help, i really wanted to put 05-up engine, but i think i will have to stick with 01-04 engines!

its too hard to find one where i live. i am the only one who owns a mazda tribute in my country!

There is a possibility that you can use a newer engine, but you would have to swap sensors and the wiring harness
