I need to replace my engine and I am looking to upgrade the engine to a 3L. But I dont know which one to go with.
1.Hybrid Engine
2.Taurus/Sable Engine
3.2001 Escape Engine
I talked to someone here and they told me to go with the 2001 Escape, but I keep reading about the Hybrid and Taurus engines. I know the 01 Taurus and Escape have the same horse power rating. I need a little help. I am very new to this and I know people can be a little harsh on people in this forum. Remember Im knew

None Yet I can get a 2002 Taurus Engine from my friends job for 350. I can get a Escape Engine for 1000. I wanted to know what is the major differance in the engine. They are both rated the same in horsepower. Which one is an easier swap?

i have the taurus block. (beleive) they are exactly the same block. $350 is a steal! If of course is in good condition with low miles.

Make sure the Taurus engine in question is a Duratec and not the much more common Vulcan.
I recommend an 01+ full Oval Port engine. You can't beat it, in any area. 'nuff said.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
