Someone on NECO has beat you to it ... coming up and I will be pulling his engine from one Cougar, placing it in another Cougar and then swapping in my setup into the 1st Cougar. Double swap weekend

If this deal falls through, here is the price and list of options on the engine/trans:

02 Escape 3L Oval Port
- Block R&R
-- reringed
-- cylinders rehoned
-- Clevite77 main & rod bearings added
-- all new TTY bolts on bottom end
- SVT Cams
- All new timing gear (chains/guide/adjusters ... everything behind the timing cover)
- All new gaskets
- Heads R&R with 3 angle valve job
-- All new valve stem guides
-- All new retainers & keepers
- Heads port matched to 2.5L LIM
- New SVT Throttle Body
- New IACV
- New SVT flywheel
- New SPEC Stage III clutch
- Grand Total: $2,505.41

This is a stock CR 3L, running 10:1 CR. I didn't do any chamber work on the heads because I know with proper tuning, this engine could hold 12+psi of boost and put down high 300's in the hp/tq department.

HMS Modified Transmission
- Slick Shift Kit (roller bearing shift forks)
- Keyed Tower Mod (never worry about breaking shifter bolt again!)
- New blockers on 2nd, 3rd & 4th gears
- Torsen T2 Diff fitted
- New OEM TOB/Slave Cylinder
- Total Cost Parts & Labor: $1,163.04
- Torsen Cost: $548.99
- Grand Total: $1,712.03

Combined Total: $4217.44

I hope to be pulling the engine/trans this weekend!
