Swapping a 3.5L Ecoboost into.....

Reviving a old thread. I and just getting started on my 64 Falcon Coupe Pro Touring project.
With Ford offering the 3.5 EcoBoost and controller it will be a fun and different swap. I am told a MT82 trans and 3.7 flywheel will bolt up I yet to verify.
I will be using a Ride Tech coil over suspension with a Fox body rack, it looks like the rear sump pan has plenty of room. One of the big questions I have is it looks the the drivers side turbo exhaust could be a tight fit. Any information appreciated.
 
Curious if this controller pack would work with a motor out of a wreck.

The manual ranger project would be way easier, with this simple manual transmission harness...

Just dreaming...swap the IRS out of a Cobra, wrecked F-150 3.5EB, Tremec 6-speed of some variety (not sure on the bellhousing compatibility...custom bellhousing could get pricey...)

That thing would flat out MOVE. Hell, with the Turbo Couple/SVO 2.3 SOHC swap, they're no slouch, just imagine that much more torque and HP in a stock tuned 3.5EB...start working on some tuning?

I do like where your head is at with this.  I had my 95 GT Convertible out for a spin yesterday and was missing the power of the SHO, but enjoyed rowing thru the gears on the T5 5spd...  I literally was thinking how much fun the car would be with a 3.5Eco and a manual trans..

Exactly my issue with my Flex. Love the power, miss rowing my own gears. Even my GF commented the other day how I look so disappointed because I don't drive a stick anymore. I've already started the hunt for something manual and cheap that I was going to turn into a project car/truck trackrat. Not sure if they'd allow a Ranger to autocross, but I can always try :rofl:
 
I am wondering if a 6R80 transmission will work on my 2011 Taurus SHO? What's the difference in a SHO Ecoboost and a F150

Besides the fact that the SHO is tranverse and the F150 is not, meaning the 6r80 out of an F150 would in no way, shape, or form work in an SHO

Block is fundamentally the same except for some bosses here and there. F150 Limited and F150 Raptor are the HO versions of the 3.5 and have different pistons. Heads between the transverse 3.5 (SHO/Flex/XSport) and the longitudinal 3.5 (F150/Expedition) are pretty different and Intake Manifold is WAY different, comes off the opposite direction.

I know there are other differences, but these are some of the major ones.
