Ok, I have an ATX so if I decided to finally swap engines I would have to get the Escape 3.0L correct? Since the Taurus doesnt use the CD4E auto trans. What issues with the water pump (electric or mechanical) would I have since it didnt come out til 2001?

Thanks



David Z. and I talked about an Escape 3.0 for my SVT, mainly because Escape used the CD4E. I'm pretty sure the water pump isn't an issue if you use the heads also. I ended up going to a Taurus engine and SHOshop to do the install. I recently heard that David is still contemplating a 3.0 Escape for his SVT.
