Ok...so I'm pretty sure my 2.5 is broke, again, (GDammit) replaced it once at 50,000. (check out my thread in the troubleshooting section)
Anyway, my question/s is/are:
1. Cost of a 3.0L and how/where do I get one?
2. Does the 3.0 have oil starvation/pickup issues?
3. Has anyone put a competely different engine/tranny is our car? (Like not a Ford, but a 6)
I live in B'ham btw and am trying to get my baby up and running again. I would be glad to deal with any aftermarket stereo issues/questions. (I open my car/boat stereo business in Nov)
1. Usually you can get it done for less than $5k. And check car-part.com and it will show you a wreckingyard in or around your area that has one. Look for a 2003+ Escape, Taurus, Sable etc.
2. No
3. Not that I know of. Best thing is to just pull your MTX-75 and ship it to Terry Haines. He knows how to make them last.
