The ford 3.5 ecoboost is an amazing engine. 365hp, 420tq, 6 main bearings, runs on 87octain, can easily put out 450hp, longevity is established, and cost for a good unit is about 1000$ more than the heavier, naturally aspirated LS. I'd love to have one of these in my FJ62. I live at 8500 feet and the well worn 3fe maybe makes 90hp up here w/240k on the clock.
Considering doing this in the next 18-24 months or so, starting to gather educational parts and $$.
Motor/6r80 trans can be had for as little as $4,000.
Consider using split case or the f150 transfercase?
Custom driveshafts, cross member, motor mounts, exhaust.
All the things associated with an LS swap (fuel pump, computer location, o2 sensors, wiring, more sensors, instruments,).
A/C not important but would be handy.
OME lift w/shackles and 255/85/16 tires.
Possibly body lift for clearance of transmission and oil pan?
ANY THOUGHTS?!? Thanks mud
