I could buy at least 4 escape 3.0Ls with that money.



Yeah, I realize that it's pretty expensive, but I wanted a warranty. I may have been able to swap three or four motors in for the same money, but I don't have near the time for that. I did alot of research on this board before I purchased the engine assembly from Ford, but I think it was the best decision for me. I've read some real horror stories with those 3L swaps.

I wasn't looking for more power and performance, I wanted reliability and driveability, with no problems. haha look where it got me
