2.0l Ecoboost Swap?
It looks like Ford Racing has released a controls pack for the 2.0l Ecoboost. Anyone want 252hp and 270 lb-ft out of a 300 lb engine?
Crate Engine: https://www.fordracingparts.com/m/Part.asp?p=22999 Controls Pack: https://www.fordracingparts.com/m/Part.asp?p=22998 I'm not sure what transmissions will bolt up, but a ZF5 or a Tremec 6060 would be awesome! |
the 2.0 really weighs 300lbs?? the possibilities are endless...
|
According to Zack Bowman who's doing a swap into his project 'Ugly Horse' on Road and Track's website has it listed at 291 lbs and wikipedia has it at 328 lbs, but no reference.

I think this would be a super engine for a locost super seven project!

Apparently with the Ford Racing tune that comes in the control pack, power is increased to 360 lb-ft and 295 hp on 91 octane fuel. Think that would be enough to drive my RWD '95 F150? |
Let the Ford Ranger swaps begin!

I still want to swap this engine into my F150, so here's a little more information I've found out. Apparently the crate engine is the same engine found in the 13-14 Focus STs. The head and turbo manifold are slightly different for other versions of the 2.0l Ecoboost, so I doubt the controls pack will work properly with any other version. Transmission options I've found are the M5OD-R1, a T5 with an adapter plater or a 6 speed from an NC Miata. Based on reviews, vehicles with a curb weight of 4000 lbs should get around 23 MPG combined and should be able to go 0-60 in the mid to low 6 second range. In my opinion, that sounds perfect for a daily driven truck.

Sorry to ressurect this old thread as my first post, but this thread is why I came here.
I've been trying to decide if I want to buy a new 2015 F-150 ecoboost 2.7, or if I'd rather build a 73 - 74 (my favorite 2 years) F-100 with a crown vic front end and a 2.3 ecoboost from the new mustang. I've always liked the sound of 4 cylinder engines more than v6s. |

Bronco II Engine swap
I have an 89 Bronco II with a 2.9L V-6 and am looking at my options as far as engine swaps. I have considered swapping out with a 300 straight 6, or even a 289... however I am now considering one of the 2.0 EcoBoost as an option. Has anyone swapped one of these EcoBoost into a late 80's Ranger or Bronco II successfully yet? Is there any more info available? Is it even a viable possibility?

The other was into an 80s Merkur XR4Ti to be used as a rally car: 2.0 Ecoboost to RWD, A Brief How-To To answer your questions, I haven't heard of any Ranger/Bronco II swaps yet. Obviously that doesn't mean someone hasn't done it yet. As for it being a viable swap, anything is with the right amount of time and money. It will probably cost more than a 300 or 289 swap, but it should be lighter, use less gas (if you stay out of the boost) and be a more modern platform for upgrades in the future. Take a look at those links and if there's more info, I'll try to help you out. Since money is kinda tight at the moment, I'm hoping Ford will release a 2.3L crate engine as well. Considering sales are good for the 2015+ Mustang and the Focus RS is just being released they might be holding off to ensure production lines are stocked first. |
Aloha all,
Sorry to bring up a dead pony (Mustang ref) I have searched and searched and searched. So from what I can find anyone who has put a 2.0 or 2.3 ecoboost (same block) into a second generation ranger? (1993-1997) I find myself in a position to purchase a 2.0 crate engine with control pack and T5. the price is reasonable, but the unknowns may require deep pockets. I drive about 100 miles back and forth to work 5-6 days a week. So if it can and maybe has been done 30MPG sounds great; unfortunately I dont have the unlimited pocket to put concepts together. Someone must have attempted or done the research, please share. time is limited on the purchase of a 2.0 ecoboost crate engine including control pack and T5. Thanks for any inputs. |

There's only two swaps I've read about so far. One was into a 1986 Fox-body Mustang. If you search for it on Youtube there's a couple of videos. Also here's a link to a forum that talks about it: 1986 SVO with 2.0L Ecoboost swap - Mustang Evolution

2.0 L EcoBoost Focus ST into a truck
Just getting started on a 2.0 Eco Crate engine into a 1966 F100. Hoping to keep weight under 3600 lbs.
Have secured the new engine along with Ford Racing PCM/Kit found new all for only 2200 so hoping to keep the cost down. Not my project but I donated the truck to my helper. Hoping to have it on the road by the time he gets his DL 6 mo from now |
