Just like norcalfocus01 has said it will bolt right up. If you damage the piston just go to a pick a part place and pull a focus piston head off. It will be like $20 i think.

Im not sure but i think you can pull an escort piston and rod.
Bore x Stroke
SPI Focus ..........Zetec........SPI 2.0 Escort
3.34 X 3.46.......3.26 X 3.62......3.34 X 3.46

Compression Ratio
SPI Focus..........SPI 2.0L Escort
9.4:1..................9.4:1
Just make sure you dont pull the rods from a Zetec escort or a 1.9L SPI
Also take the old PIston and rod with you and compare just to make sure.

The SPI 2.0 Escort Piston and Rod appears to be a match but when you look at the rings you'll see the TOP compression ring for the Escort is a 1.2mm whereas the Focus Top compression ring is a 1.5mm. Hastings Rings can help you out here if you need to piece individual rings together. I posted a link to the Hastings part numbers if you do a search it should show up.... it escapes me right now as it was 'moved'.

X2 if you have money might as well swap a zetec or SVT, loudfocus could probably give you some tip about that ;)
