The 3.0 DOHC in the Escape was used in quite a few vehicles (Correct me if I'm wrong) but here is what I understand to be the cars it was used in:
Taurus/Sable (with DOHC)
Escape/Tribute (Mazda)
MPV (Mazda)
Fusion
500
(the 500 and freestyle now use a 3.5)
Freestyle
Mondeo
X-Type Jag
Noble M12 and M14 (with turbos)
and last but not least the Aston Martin Vanquish (uses 2 put together)
these motors are in different states of tune with power from the 190's to about 225 (N/A) so as you can see this is a very popular engine, strong, the block was cast using a cosworth technique where they rotate the mold as it cools to keep the hot spots to a minimum, and therefore have a consistent strength

one word........"WOW!!" Popular engine is an understatement. LOL, You seem to be very knowledgeable with Fords. You work as a tech or something?

nope, i read allot though, 4 mags a month, plus car shows on tv and the good old internet, the Duratec 3.0 was a very solid engine, which is why it was so well liked (got a bad rep due to bad trannies on the Taurus) The Noble M14 is putting down 450 hp with it on boost! the aston, N/A with two together has 520 hp, good solid engine
