Following!

How much HP are you wanting if you decide EcoBoost?

I have done a couple 3.5 Swaps and have a complete donor 2.7 I will most likely drop in one of my '66 F100's.

Eco1 a bone stock from intake to exhaust tune only made 420/532 @ tire
532 lb ft at under 3000 rpm.

Eco2 with just a "slight" turbo upgrade should make 480-500 RWHP

What amazed me especially on the first one (buying a donor) was the engine was nearly free for a 6400 mile used engine.

3250.00 for complete truck and sold well over 1000.00 in parts.

If one wants 1000 HP is not out of question. (better rods n pistons needed over 500 rwhp)

Parts for the engines are beyond cheap. A NEW Steel Crankshaft good for 1000 hp is under 100.00! I thought that was a price mistake so actually ordered one. Connecting rods were 11.00 each.

Would love to see you go 3.5 Eco as 500 RWHP and 600 TQ in that falcon would be unreal.

Great Project!

Many many years ago my brother built a '61 Falcon with a 390 I was 13 and he was 15. Such a cool year. (1970)
