Finally!!! 
Man, I was just thinking today. This thread has got me thinking about a 3.5 or 3.7 swap into my Escape again. I know people had previously thought about it, but because the 3.5 and 3.7 have VVT-i, everyone said you couldn't mate the ECUs.
If I wanted to swap a 3.5 or 3.7 V6 and 6spd auto out of an Edge, into my Escape, can HP Tuners and/or any of the guys in here help me out with getting it running?

, I'm the mechanical guy so I wouldn't be able to help with that part.I can say from the mechanical side that the transverse 3.5 is extremely wide. I was considering originally to put in a transverse ecoboost awd from a sho in to this mustang but the shock towers were 7" too narrow for the engine/trans to fit. The ecoboost transverse are half the price of the f150 motors but no transmission bolts to it excpet the fwd or awd setup.

But, after seeing yours running, I would bet these guys could get it going!

YES!!! She sounds great! Kind of sounds like a mid level exotic (thinking GTR again). I love it! It sounds like muscle but a different kind of muscle than most people are used to hearing. Do me a favor; if you have a GoPro, set up and shoot one like this video I did to hear my exhaust.
Once you get back on the road that is!
