1. Being on good terms with your primary junkyard is a really good thing ($113 goes a long way)
2. A 2.2L N/A F2 (minus transaxle) will fit in the back of a '95 Escort hatch, providing you are smart and have replaced the pressed-board with plywood under the carpet
3. Abovementioned engine is hella heavy and difficult to remove without a hoist.

That is all.
