These are easy to swap in 1st gen Mustangs. Straight 6s have the same bellhousing bolt pattern as SBF. Lots of room.

Use a 2.5 duratec block/closed deck also, 2.3 eco rotating assembly with 2.5 head eliminating the head a fold and DI for simplicity. Mustang, mazda miata, Ranger and Mazda b2300 transmission for bolt on transmission/ECUs. JS if you have access to multiple engine options to play with

[@stroupperformance9384]

The duratec block and head are good options. But you would need to buy or fabricate a turbo manifold for it which could get expensive. Also the manual transmissions they put behind those were pretty weak. I think the simplest way to complete the swap is to buy a used 2.0 Ecoboost. But you could definitely do a complete build with the duratec and have the 4 port head and longer stroke.

[@young11984]

@@stroupperformance9384 the transmissions i mentions are bolt on but Esslinger has a SBF bolt pattern adapter than you could bolt anything for an older pushrod 5.0 to it and that opens up a world of options. Also the 6R80 can take a lot of abuse and its a factory auto option from the Mustang which is what i have behind my turbo 2.5. Turbo manifolds can be had from $120 to $500 or more if you want a tubular stainless one but its all sorts of options like buying a used Mazda CX7 turbo manifold thats a bolt on

Awesome video! I was recently given a new edge mustang with a 3.8 and this video has me thinking... lol I know I can get the engine bolted in with the same AJE K-member and your mounts but I need to research wiring for a new edge. Also wife hates manuals so maybe a 6r80 option or go SBF adapter and keep the 4r70w. IDK yet, lots to research.

[@schulzzy]

Oh and I need to figure out air conditioning, cant do no AC in my region. Too HOT lol

[@stroupperformance9384]

Wiring is super simple, at least for the engine. There are a few kits that make it pretty much a stand alone system. Integrating your current dash board would be the hard part. AC is pretty easy too, just grab a compressor from an Ecoboost powered car.

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

So an LS swap is way cheaper after having to buy thousands of dollars of extra parts for the ecoboost 2.0? LS with a lumpy cam sounds way better!

Miata transmissions are also a great option for manual transmissions. Also, what tuner did you use with the ANT ECM setup?

[@stroupperformance9384]

I will be trying the HPT MPVI3. Not sure if it will be able to tune just yet, but I have confirmed that it will communicate with the ECU and read data.

[@fairplayer916]

so im dreaming of putting a 2.0 into an old pre-75 ranchero. Less for the power, and more for the fuel economy. think it would be a nice foundation for a daily. something i can putt around in and maintain high 20's to low 30's on the mpgs. enough torque for anything id put in the bed or pull a small trailer.

[@IronMan3582]

You're making a modernized Mustang SVO with that Foxbody there, I like it. I always wondered what kind of performance you could get out of a Foxbody with a Cosworth Engine out of the Sierra or Escort, but this is a lot more obtainable with that 2.0 Ecoboost

[@cashallen1931]

JEM Sport also makes a swap solution for the 2.0 or the 2.3 EcoBoost. I went with them after speaking with Jake at JEM sport as the way they do their PATS delete allows for use of off the shelf Focus ST Tunes or for someone with an HP tuners to plug in and tune on the ecu, Where as ANT harness uses a can network to spoof the ecu into thinking it has PATS, and limits the tuning availability. I believe you can still tune gen 1 EcoBoost ECU's with the correct harness, but it seemed a little in the dark. I have the JEM sport ZF adapter to mount up a ZF. The ZF trans is much stronger than the Getrag, and is also quite light. I also liked how they use a shift rod that connects to the trans rather than directly on top, so I could alter the length of that rod and retain my factory shifter location with a chassis mounted shifter. This is all going into an NA miata, cant wait to get the engine harness in and fire it up!

[@stroupperformance9384]

I wish that JEM sport had the ECU available when I purchased my ANT steering ECU. I'd have to talk to them more, but I believe they are using something similar to Ford's 2.0 control pack to delete PATS. I'm glad to hear the ZF trans option is working for you though. Like I said in the video, I don't know a whole lot about them. But I have heard that they are pretty cheap used.

[@cashallen1931]

@@stroupperformance9384I’m still waiting on the harness, but the zf seems like a great option on paper because it’s super strong and quite light. The JEM sport harness is in fact based on a ford control pack ecu

I've been thinking about doing a ecoboost 4 into my '74 maverick 2dr when they first came out, currently running a 289/T5. the weight savings, and power being close to the same, along with the newer tech should give better mpg without losing performance. Besides many issues preventing me from doing it (can't tear down my only car...), I've also had a hard time deciphering the new engines, to figure out which is best for reliability and performance. My 289 is at about 300hp/trq which I'd like to stay around.

[@stroupperformance9384]

I believe the N/A engines are a bit different. The head has 4 exhaust ports, the Ecoboost has the exhaust manifold integrated into the head and only has one exhaust port. You'd probably be best off buying a used Ecoboost engine and swapping that in. Look up Rebel Devil Customs, they do a bunch of N/A to Ecoboost swaps on the Focus.

[@JoseGutierrez-ur9uu]

just a quick question. I assumed you delete the crank balancer to be able to use the rwd oil pan. The V8 SBF flywheel that you used its the 50oz inbalance one. ? Did you have clerance issues between the clutch plate and the bellhousing ? thanks

[@stroupperformance9384]

I did not delete the balance shaft assembly, it fits even with the mustang oil pan. You want a 0oz or balanced flywheel. The engine is internally balanced. I didn't have any issues with bell housing to flywheel clearance on my setup, but I've heard of others who have issues with that. You can take the crank adapter to a machine shop and have them take some material off to give you more room. This can also be done on a lathe if you have one.

[@stroupperformance9384]

@@clearchoice2112 Yeah the 2.3 has an open deck block vs the 2.0 closed deck block. I would recommend something like the garrett 2867 or 3071. 2867 will be good for 400-450whp with quicker spool (full boost by ~3000rpm). 3071 would be good for 450-500whp with a slightly slower spool (3200-3400rpm).

[@rsims123]

If you can bolt all the 2.3 stuff onto the head to do the swap, can't you use a 2.3 head on a 2.0 block? 🤔

[@stroupperformance9384]

Yes, you can also use 2.3 internals in the 2.0 block. This way you get the best of both worlds, a strong closed deck block with an extra 0.3 liters of displacement, and a better flowing head.

[@chrismoher5444]

No what about the DI and the carbon build up. Does the 2.0 or 2.3 have a way to add port injection to clean the backside of the valves.

Yes, you can add port injection to both engines. Stratified makes a intake manifold spacer that allows you to add a 4 port injectors. Personally, I just use DI intake valve cleaner spray made by CRC to keep the valves clean.

[@stroupperformance9384]

They are extremely torquey engines, especially with the stock turbo. The 2.3s stock turbo will spool fast enough to make a ton of torque down low. Just have to be careful to not make too much torque at low RPMs, the rods and pistons can't handle the added pressure.

Unfortunately the GT and Ecoboost Mustangs have different bellhousings for the MT82 they are not interchangeable. If you can find a MT82 from an Ecoboost mustang, that should bolt right up using all Ecoboost mustang flywheel and clutch parts.

Your info is not 100% accurate. There is 2 different 2.0 , there is the 2.0 semi closed twin scroll, and 2.0 closed deck that comes off the focus ST. The best way to build a ecoboost is with a 2.0 ST block with a 2.3 head and 2.3 internals. People also use the 2.0 semi closed block. Basically anything besieged the 2.3 block. Some use cylinder support systems for the 2.3 but id say its a waste of money. 2.0/2.3 ecoboost can make lots of power. But the 2.3 stroker builds are the way to go.

[@stroupperformance9384]

That is what I said in the video. The list of engines are all the same as the "ST" engine. The twin scroll engines came in the later cars depending on year. The engine that I have in the car is a 2015 escape, which is the same as a Focus ST engine except for the oil cooler, which is a bolt on part. For a high power 2.3 stroker build I would only use the early closed deck 2.0 block. I don't have a lot of trust in the later twin scroll blocks.
