Ecoboost engine swaps

Looks great!

A guy I know is doing a 5.0 swap right now in a Marauder. He didn't have to much trouble with it.

It now runs and drives just fine!

All electronics working as they should with exception to the airbag system which I have found a way to make work.

Where did you source your IDS and VCM II from? Did you have to do any special PMI's or did you just use all the components and modules from your donor truck?

Great to see it out & about!  Will it become the T-Rex of F100's?

Not sure where it will go from here but plan is to keep plugging away until its really done and on the road as my daily driver.

My daily driver for over 8yrs was a '02 7.3L Diesel which I sold after Christmas last year to help finance this project. Its not been fun in the high heat without a/c. (driving another '66 truck)

I bought it from a Local ford tech who was retiring. I then had to purchase the license which set me back 700.00 per year . .

I called Ford Racing today, the PCM is in production and will be available at the end of October. We can order it now, the part number is m-6017-35CNTRL seems to run about 2200.00. I am looking for a shop that will do the swap for me as I don't have the time or the skills. Any info would be great.

eric brooks has pats disabling on some of the newer pcm's now, and ecoboost ones are only a matter of time.

means you can use a factory computer and wiring harness on a swap
