I have a 1995 2.2 engine, bought new in Florida. I now live in Canada and need to replace engine. Is there any difference in engines made for Canada and those made for US or Southern US?

Thanks in advance

The engines made in Canada have a much better wrist shot. AFAIK, the engines are the same, but the PCM may be programmed differently. Also, the '97 export models may or may not have a MAF, whereas the domestic models should have a MAF in '97-later. If you're not changing the PCM, and use the original (Florida-style) intake, injection, and controls, it should be a bolt-in.
