If you're considering an engine swap for your 2012 Ford Escape, and looking for recommendations on good swap kits, it depends on your goals.
For a straightforward replacement, direct replacement engine kits are often the easiest and most hassle-free option. These kits are designed to fit your vehicle without major modifications.
However, if you're looking for a performance boost or a more powerful engine, options like an LS or Coyote swap might come to mind. Keep in mind that these swaps can be complex and may involve significant modifications to the electronics and other components, which can add to the cost and difficulty.
Additionally, be aware that the cost of major components, like a new transmission, can be quite high. It's important to budget accordingly and ensure you have all the necessary parts and expertise to complete the swap successfully.
