We purchased this truck from an estate with a couple of other vehicles, it came to us with the engine removed and in a crate in the bed. The engine appears to have been professionally rebuilt, it was tagged primed/break in oil . ARP stainless fasteners were used to put everything back together, the balance of the bolts for the alternator and other accessories were in the ARP box in the crate with the engine, Looking through the penetration in the timing cover one could see what appeared to be a double roller timing chain covered in white assembly lube. Upon further inspection of the engine and deciding that it was worth installing we removed the transmission and had it rebuilt, The transmission rebuild included a heavy duty clutch pack, torque convertor, valve body, and a shift kit - the transmission is suitable for heavy towing or a heavy foot! To compliment the newly installed pair the following parts were installed new as well; Super Cooler Radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses, alt ps and ac belts, a/c belt idler bearing and tensioner bearing, mechanical fuel pump, Motorcraft/Holley carburetor, fuel lines, alternator, distributor, cap, rotor, spark plug wires, 195 degree thermostat, oil and water temp sending units, PCV valve, starter, flexplate, vacuum lines, three universal joints and carrier bearing along with balancing the driveline, new dual exhaust from the manifolds to the chrome tips with a crossover tube - nice sounding low rumble, not obnoxious. It appears that the previous owner spent quite a bit of time cleaning and detailing the engine compartment, when we reinstalled the engine all of the brackets were media blasted and painted to match the rest of the meticulous work that had been completed under the hood and to the frame in the engine compartment area. I think that we finished it the way it was intended to be. The air conditioner works great, blows very cold. This truck runs out very well, the engine is smooth, quiet, and very powerful.

Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time

Fri, Aug 15 2014

Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Ken Block proves the new Ford Focus RS can handle that Gymkhana thing

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Oh Ford, you've already done a lot for us today, introducing the bound-for-America Focus RS and all. But then you go ahead and add onto this day of good news by handing a prototype of the new all-wheel-drive rocket to drift maestro Ken Block and capture it all on video. Block does his usual, slipping and sliding and drifting the over-315-horsepower hot hatchback through Ford's Cologne, Germany factory, before making a final and surprising appearance at the unveiling of the new RS to European media. It's all as entertaining as it sounds, and gives us plenty of chances to hear the 2.3-liter EcoBoost at full bellow. Related Video:

Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.
