should be.generally speaking.even some escort parts interchange.especially mechanical parts.but electrical is more iffy.especially with the motor electrical.for instance some tempos' came with different starters/alternators.they are still interchangable if you know how to rig.the alternators need wring rerouting as plugs dont match.the starters also need some wiring changes to go from small style to large style starter or vice versa.generally speaking the farther apart the years the more differences you can encounter.also canadian made tempo's may have different electrical parts like ignition parts.general rule is if part looks the same it is.
