EcoBoost Swap?
So I was wondering if anyone has tried to do an EcoBoost engine swap in a Ranger?
If so is there a build thread?

Re: EcoBoost Swap?
I'd love to have an eco boost in mine. Been thinking about it for a while. It'll never happen though but I'd love to see it done

Re: EcoBoost Swap?
That would be sick!
But unlikely to happen seein as how that engine probably cost more than most of our trucks are worth.

I don't believe it has. Time for you to be the first to do it.  I'd love to try it, but I can't afford to do it.

Re: EcoBoost Swap?
Ha!! I wish I had the funds to put a 3.7L 365hp, 420 lb-ft in my Ranger! But I would be concerned with not being able to put the power down to the road, especially since mine is a 2WD. You would have to put a half ton steel plate over the rear axle...
I am, however, open to donations and help to have this done to mine... :-D

Re: EcoBoost Swap?
Someone needs to do it. Think of the MPG gain you would get. Like, 25-27. That or the 305 hp 3.7 V6.
