I accidentally found a complete Escape 3.0 at a local junkyard with only 23K miles for only $400, which I understand is very cheap. It appears to be very clean as well.
A 3.0 swap was not previously on the near horizon for my SVT, however, this seems to be a great deal. I am thinking about buying it and just holding on to it until I get around to swapping in the next year or so. I have been reading up on this in the last couple of days, but am pretty much a newb to this 3.0 stuff. I have a lot more searching/reading to do.
My questions are:
Is there a general consensus that the Escape 3.0 is the best route to go on the 3.0L swap? Any disadvantages vs. the Taurus/Sable 3.0 (searched, can't find any)? Unlike the Taurus/Sable with the OHV Vulcan, all Escape 3.0's are compatable Duratechs right?
This seems to be the case from my reading, just want to quickly verify before purchasing.
