4.6StangRage Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 This would be a sweet idea if the ford 3.5L ecoboost can be hooked to a north/south config and suitable for a car. I am curious if the bellhousing for the 3.7 will work on the 3.5 ecoboost. If so, this would be an awesome build. Does anyone have any information about the new ford tech?

I agree this is an impressive engine - I had one in a Taurus SHO and loved it! I'm worried that the bellhousing would be the least of your issues in using it in a swap though - have you seen this motor being used on other projects? If so, I'd be interested to see what they did. Adapting the returnless fuel system and direct injection hardware would be a pretty technical chore, let alone configuring a CAN bus to supply all the info that the ECU needs... Not saying don't do it, but be aware of what you're getting into. Edited December 11, 2011 by TimZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.6StangRage Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah That is true, It would be a challenge to get the electronics such as all of the coordinated systems to be able to work properly in a new chassis. I guess some of the easiest of new ford engine swaps would be the coyote 5.0 especially since ford makes a wiring harness dedicated to hot-rod building.
