F100 Engine swap. Tuning info needed Phoenix area

[EcoBoostedF100]

That's GREAT :thumb:  How about some details on this newfangled setup, mi amigo

100% all stock ford stuff. No mods (yet) lol

I still need to most likely order a new cab harness for a Regular cab so I can get the doors open message off the message center.
I do not have the IC installed yet as need to make a custom one. I just fired it for a few seconds to know everything else is hooked up proper and it actually runs. As soon as I can get a IC built I will be able to drive it.

Right now the wiring is hooked up but the dash pad is not in. Just made it easier to figure out all the wiring.

Didn't you just basically swap in the factory chassis from the new truck and put your body on top of it?

I did purchase a new 126" WB chassis. Swapped the engine and trans but because of a WB change had to purchase a lot of other items.

Much too involved to explain its best for someone to read the build thread.

How are you making the ECM work ? I've been working on a 3.5 swap since last July now. Have had the same run around with ford racing BS'ing about the release date and etc.

I got my harness redone by hotwireauto and now am having a dilemma of making the computer work. Can't get past the security/abs features.

Any chance you could PM ?

If you read his build thread you will see he did not swap the engine at all. He basically put a 1966 F100 cab on a 2011 F150 chassis. He used the entire drive train and frame as well as the complete dashboard with all the AC/heat stuff. Cut the floor out of the F100 and slid the F150 floor pan in. So even the seats are 2011 F150.

A massive project! But the 3.5L Ecoboost still thinks it's powering a 2011 F150.

FYI the actual Ford control pack is out now and there's a thread in this board discussing it.

Some major developments have been made. Now it's easy to drop a 2011-2016 3.5 Eco into anything.  I think the 2015 & up is a better fit but is more difficult to deal with PATS than other years.

A couple months ago while waiting for new custom wheels for Eco 1 I started another 3.5 Eco swap. 180 deg from first one. This one is truly a engine Trans swap only using a 6R80 4x4 combo.

Hoping to fire Eco 2 within next few days using a 2015 engine without using a control pak.  Will follow up soon.

Sweet!

Eco 2 as its called is now up and running! Still a lot more work until 1st test drive but were able to get the 2015 PCM to work including PATS.
