Just for fun idea - Ecoboost drivetrain swap into an older Ford car

[crash712us]

Actually not a bad idea, being that it was made for a transversely mount engine. Where a fox body was not.

Hmm, cheap but would the engine fit under the hood?
I'll think about it.

Strut tower are only 2" shorter, wheel base is 3" shorter, total length 6" shorter. tubing out the front clip it should fix find. Told you I have been thinking about this for some time.

Sounds like a plan, just need to finish the flex first

The Fox with the truck motor longitudinally with some suspension and slicks would be the easiest and probably fastest

I'll third this idea.  A rwd Fox can easily go low 9's and high 8's with only minor suspension.  A good friend of mine has a '88 coupe with a big inch Windsor single turbo going 8.70's at 165 with surprisingly minimal chassis.  It's a well proven platform and cheap in comparison.  Here's a pic of the love of my life back in '94.  1.30 60 fts with just slicks and Lakewood bars, which are really outdated now.

Did you learn anything from this? Was thinking about the same, but an f150 application.

I pontiac fiero with the 3.5 would be cool or a MR2.

I have been thinking about ecoboosting my 97 ranger.

I'd skip the awd and just go rwd. Or some how fit the 3.5 to a subaru awd system. Now that would be cool.

I want to rwd and 5.0l my Flex. Hell they sell a bolt in kit to do it to a Focus!!
