Don't worry, I did the exact same thing, but with the intent of doing a hybrid. I got a 1999 Taurus block with hopes of mating some SVT heads to it and calling it day. Then along came a deal I couldn't pass up ... free heads in exchange for some help ... 2001 Escape heads. I now have the makings of a full oval port engine. I sent the heads to kinger and now I have a head/block combo of pushing 400+ HP to the wheels.



Wow, looks like it worked out for you. Is that the setup your turbo is on?

Hopefully everything will work out for me too.

I called the salvage yard today to explain that they sold me the wrong year engine, the guy is doing research on it and I am calling him back in 10 minutes.

Maybe I can convince him to just refund half of my money because it�s an older model and not desired as much. Then I can get new heads and get Kinger to make them pretty.
