Make sure you save EVERY email, voicemail, receipt you have. They will play a huge role in court, if you have to go that far.

That's pretty expensive. A 02 Taurus 3L can be had for $350 with the same amount of miles.

Yes I know, but I didn't want a Taurus engine ... more work. I wanted an escape engine and for some reason, they are hard to find in that price range SHIPPED being the operative word here. I checked all my local yards and could have gotten a Taurus/Sable engine from an 01 Taurus for only $375, but passed. I want the revised parts in the oiling system (pan, pickup & windage tray).

Well shipping alone with a carrier a distance like that is usually like $200 of that money on the sale price.
You would have been ok with the Taurus motor but you are right, getting the escape pans and stuff makes it real easy to just reuse that stuff. All you will have to do is change out the dipstick tube if you want, but I actually used my escape dipstick for two years until I went back to the contour one this summer.
Just count on new rod bearings and probably on new Ford rings. The cylinders won't need any work if it is in good shape and I can't imagine the mains needing it either.
You might need timing chain guides and a drive sprocket though.

You are just crazy.
There is no more work swapping a Taurus/Sable engine then a Escape/Tribute engine.
Any 01+ 3L engine will have the revised pickup, windage tray, and dipstick.
Only an 04+ Escape engine will have the revised pan. It's probably cheaper to just pay the $125 for the oil pan kit then buy an 04+ Escape engine over an 01-03 Taurus engine. You need the new oil pan gasket anyway. (~$25 IIRC)

Wrong. The taurus/sable pickup and oil pan are different. The pan can be modified to fit the contour through drilling a couple bolts, but it's not a direct swap. Also, the pan is deeper than the contour/escape pan and as such has a unique oil pump pickup for that pan. If you use the escape/contour oil pan with the taurus pickup, it will not fit (trust me, I now have bought 3 escape oil pump pickups due to just noticing this). One other note, the revised windage tray requires different studs on the outer corners of the block than the ones used with the stock windage tray along with the more obvious use of the 4 center studs in lieu of bolts.
