Not Mercury, Merkur...totally different branding. It's all Ford parts, though.

Should be totally the same from what I know. I'll be using a Merkur engine for my swap from an XR4Ti.

The block/head is the same but the Merkurs had a 90 degree elbow on the oil filter which is pretty trick and can be pulled off and used on any 2.3T. This allowed better filtering of the oil but I get it screwed up on how it helps. Its something like the stock location doesn't filter all the oil because the filter points to the oil pan and has trouble getting in the filter. Some crap like that
