Hi, I look forward to learning and hopefully help someone, I have a 03 Ford Escape xlt 3.0 duratec v6 awd/4x4 my inspiration to have this as a project is the Noble m400 when I saw what they had done with the engine I was determined to do my own build, I am on my 3rd rebuild, 1st was standard pistons and decked heads (more compression), 2nd rebuild had .30 oversized pistons same cylinder heads as before, now 3rd rebuild with
40 oversized pistons with stock cylinder heads, also have done other things like SCTX4 power programmer, Jet Performance mass air flow sensor, Edelbrock air intake filter, a/c and power steering delete , Whiteline links and rear adjustable control arms, body work, interior gutted and seeing what else I would like the do since I don't have an idea what exactly I want to do with the project, I guess I would like it to do everything well, don't have to be the fastest or the quickest just something different

Thanks again, I have been reading up on a few things I wanted to know more about, I appreciate what you have going on here. I have had many cars,

my first car under my name was a 79 BMW 320i that I bought of the original owner, he had bought it new in germany and imported it to the states,

I had 2 cars before that BMW or should I say me and my dad had 66 Mustang 289 red with black pony interior

and a 70 Camaro RS 350 also red with a black interior.

I have had a 77 celica, 85 celica SR5, 81 Datsun 200sx, 86 Nissan truck, 85 mazda rx7, 87 Buick Regal, 91 Accord 4 door, 92 Accord coupe, I think it was an 93 or 94 Infinity Q45, 75 Monte Carlo

and a few others and that's not counting my brother, sister and parents cars that I had to take care of, checking fluid levels, washing and whatever else the cars would need I did it. I had a car for everyday of the week, lol

It is funny how some cars stick in our heads and others drop out. We seem to remember the good and bad ones!

We had a 1.3 Corolla and it was so boring we often walked past in the car park, no one ever recognised us in it when we were out an about. We had no trouble at all with it, and it was cheap to run etc... just really really average and boring.
