its getting the ecm and tcm to work without the APIM, BCM, etc that is what worries me.I'm sure you can make a drivetrain from a f150 work.

HI Ross
Can you detail any changes you had to make to install the transverse Mkz engine in a RWD application? I've got a 3.7L Cyclone engine that came out of a 2010 mazda 6 originally, my plan is to beef it up with crank and rods from a 3.5L ecoboost motor, convert it to direct injection with ecoboost heads and pump along with the turbochargers and install it in RWD configuration into a 2003 Lincoln LS that has the 3.0L v6 in it currently. If possible I'd like to replace the 5 speed auto transmission (5R55E) with a 6R80 if it will physically bolt on? I would appreciate some info on what to do for motor mounts to put this engine in longitudinally into the Lincoln ls.
Hi Walt, this is Ross Converse in Maine . I just signed up with this forum after reading all the great advice about doing swaps with the twin cam V6. I'm finishing up the process of putting a
09 MKZ 3.5 into a 1974 Volvo 164 rear wheel drive. I've adapted this engine up to the Ford AOD transmission successfully and would be glad to share details and pictures. It's been a very time-consuming project but I'm retired now and have a very patient customer from New York. The reason why I found your forum is because one of the last things I have to do is get the engine to start. I now have new hope I can do this with the stock PCM and modified harness and not have to go to megasquirt. For the last 30 years I've been putting 5.0 HO Mustang packages into rear wheel drive Volvos for a business . My company used to be Converse engineering.com
Thanks again, Ross
Hi Mike,Thank you so much.
Hi Mike,
I've compiled an album with 44 pictures in my Google photos but I can't figure out how to post them on this forum. I can email them to you directly if you want.

Hi Mike, that would be good if you could. I'm an old guy and although I have lots of patience for mechanical problems I have very little patience for computer problems.You can send them to [email protected]. I can try to post them up for you if that is ok?
So I had it all lined up. Planned to go to meet up with F100TimeWarp and swap a 2.7 EB into my 2001 reg cab. We lifted the cab, yanked the 5.4 and placed the 2.7. It was all going so well.
Then I noticed a crack. There was an 8" long crack in the aluminum girdle that sits above the oil pan on the 2.7. Unreal. Had to reverse it all and put the 5.4 back in and the cab back on. The 2.7 fit so well. Trans crossmember bolts right up, motor mounts would need to be made but they were very close. Very close. So we undid what we did and drove the 01 back up onto the trailer 6 hours later (if that). Could cut down 30% on time now knowing all this. Dammit.
