i have a 99 contour svt and i am looking to do the engine swap. i have found a 2002 3L escape engine with less then 1k miles on it on ebay for a buy it now price of $650. just wondering if that is a good deal or not. Im not sure if this is true or not but i have herd that i would be able to take most of the mods i have on my 2.5L and be able to put them on the 3.0L, is that possible?
I think for the escape engine $650 is a pretty good price especially for 1K engine. Although if i were you the starting bid is only $400!!!! I doubt anyone is going to buy it now, so i would place a starting bid for $400.

And I would also search.. You'll find everything you need to know about the swap, from what parts you can and can't use, what you'll need to do to modify, and the best way to do the install..
