2.0 ECOBOOST MUSTANG: PROJECT UGLY HORSE

Read about this amazing Fox Body Mustang Project! A FRPP 2.0 Ecoboost powered 1989 Mustang LX.

Zach Bowman, editor at autoblog.com, is working on a special Fox Body Mustang project – Project Ugly Horse. It is one of those projects that you just can’t stop reading about and following. If you haven’t heard about this project, let me get you caught up on work so far. Zach is attempting a special build with his 1989 LX Hatchback. When he inherited it, this Fox Body Mustang was powered by the very undesirable 2.3L four-cylinder with an automatic transmission.

Interesting... What's the 2.0L Ecoboost capable of power wise?

350 HP pretty easily with minor bolt-ons and proper tuning. I'm sure you could push it well beyond that with better internals and a bigger turbo. I would think 450 HP could be done with some $$.
