I may take you up on your offer. John Eagle says there is a lower end problem. I don't know how that is possible, but that's 2 out of 2. 951 miles from Dallas to Tucson. Wish there was someone closer. I'll email you after I talk to the mechanic tomorrow. Evidently there is not a Ford dealership that will authorize a 2.5L/3.0L engine swap. $5,300 for a new 2.5L motor. :-(
