[QUOTE="walt460, post: 13774324, member: 100445"] Well also, the oil pan on a F150 3.5L Ecoboost is the same parts as used on the 2011-2014 3.7L Mustang......... so the F150's engine should clear the steering rack on any 1979-2014 Mustang, particularly if a tubular cross member is used. The F150's 6R80 auto trans is physically identical to the one used in the 2011-2014 mustang, so for sure it will package in those cars and very likely clear the tunnel on all 1979 & newer Mustangs as well as 1985 & up Rangers and likely a ton of other cars/trucks. The width of the 3.5L Ecoboost across the heads is only 22", so no issue with vacuum brake boosters. Ecoboost F150s have a vacuum pump, any swap with vacuum brakes will need one as well. The turbos exhaust exits are such that making a H-pipe for most any installation would be very much like a NA V8. The F150's Ecoboost PCM has 2 connectors. One is for the engine and transmission wiring, and the other handles power, ground, connections to the vehicle (CAN Bus, ignition switch, etc) and the vehicle mounted sensors (MAFS ACTs, etc). This means that you can use the stock PCM and engine/trans harness and not touch the wiring in one connector, and just make all the wiring modifications for the vehicle interface via the other connector's harness. All the Direct Injection stuff happens on the engine, there is a camshaft driven high pressure fuel pump, but the fuel supply from the tank is typical EFI. Just use the F150's in-tank pump and it's Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) and connect that to the PCM just as in the F150. Nothing special on the vehicle side of fuel delivery. 87 Octane too! Ford Racing does plan to sell a Controls Pak for the F150 3.5L Ecoboost, and very likely this will be for manual transmission only. The only manual trans that bolts to it is the one used on the 2011-2014 3.7L. The bellhousing pattern to totally unique, not like any other Ford engine, just the 3.5L EB and 3.7L use it. More?
