How about a 360hp 5.0L V8 shoehorned into an Escape?!
The 2011 Escape with the sport package is one sharp-looking little SUV. How about a SVT AWD(4WD) version with a F-150's 360hp 5.0L V8? Found a '02 Escape XLT with a blown engine(3.0L V6) for cheap last weekend. Hmmmm....a V8 Escape. Ford Engineering Dept, I'm looking at you(s). Power to weigh being the key to performance. Or a really "hot" V6, hey, I'm getting into the whole V6 thang now

Now there is a cool V8 engine swap! Too bad none exists to put a V8 into an Escape. Even a 4.6L Explorer or Mustang engine would be a really cool swap! I know Ford shoehorned a blown 5.4L(ala' Lightning version) into a itty bitty Ranger in 2002. I'd like to drive that monster just once!!!! Probably be wanted in several states If you could catch a supercharged 5.4L (420hp) Ranger. Not that I condon such childish behavior

Just found a really cool article online from Motor Trend (August 2001) about a Kenne-Bell supercharged Escape 5.91 seconds 0-60 and 14.41@93.9 in the 1320. Impressive...

I did a quick search myself out of curiosity, but found no kits.
That would be as much fun (maybe more) than the 5.0L powered 1973 Mazda RX4 my dad built.
I'm guessing the stock driveline would need to be completely swapped since that kind of HP would exceed the design and surely find all the weak points even if the bolt up was possible...
Maybe some cut down axles off a Bronco or something would do.
