The 3.0 v6 Duratec in this 2003 Ford Escape has a severe knock and misfires on 3 of the 6 cylinders. It is being replaced with a 3.0 Duratec from a 2003 Ford Taurus. Although they are the same a 3.0 Duratec from a Taurus is far cheaper than it's Escape counterpart.

Fitment info for 01 - 03 Ford Escape:
01 - 03 Mazda Tribute engines are a direct fit
01 - 03 Ford Taurus Duratec Engines will fit with some parts swapping
04 Taurus's received Aluminum Valve covers but otherwise appear identical
Pre 2001 Taurus engines will NOT fit without swapping heads and camshafts
