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).
