Follow along as we pick up the 2011 Ford Edge SEL AWD with the ruined 3.5 from sitting with coolant and oil mix in the engine. The old 3.5 was rusty and damaged beyond reasonable repair. We have plans to convert this SEL into a sleeper sport. We have retrieved it and gone over the situation. We have located and purchased a September 2020 brand new Ford 3.7 Duratec complete engine for the conversion. Follow along on this journey to rebuild this Edge into a working Edge in time for MercyGirls graduation in June 2022.

Lulubelle is now over 335,000 miles and has had her first big oil change with over 3K miles on it after the rebuild. I will post oil test results via Youtube channel once the testing is done.

330,000 miles and the water pump failed for the first time. Lulubelle is now back on the road and has over 335,000 miles on her. This is the complete play list for the events before durning and after the water pump failure.

Part 7 and done. Running great.

Amazingly some times you can go back to other model years in the line up and still get compatible parts for that generation. Strange but true.
