Project Ugly Horse Part 1. There comes a point in every project where all you want to do is just drive the damned car. It usually happens in conjunction with the sixth or seventh ritual pouring of rust into your open eyeballs. After all, a man can only stare into the bathroom mirror, poking at his eye socket with a Q tip, so many times before acknowledging the face staring back at him. In the gilded, prophetic words of Talking Heads, How did I get hereAdvertisement Continue Reading Below. If spinning wrenches on my back on the concrete as little flakes of rust assaulted my corneas like a volley of tiny ninja stars ever held any luster, its long gone.

Ive been working on stuffing an Eco. Boost 2. 0 liter four cylinder engine from the 2. Ford Focus ST into the nose of my beater 1. Mustang for over a year now, and aside from a handful of iffy and terrifying straight pipe trial runs with the old 2. Zach Bowman. The notion seemed so sound. That little turbo engine is a powerhouse, cranking out more grunt than the old cast iron 3. V8 in the GT with a fraction of the weight. Throw in that Ford has a long and storied history of propelling Mustangs with power dense, lightweight four cylinder engines, and the swap starts making sense. Advertisement Continue Reading Below. Im well past the conceptual stage, and at this point, its a matter of simply keeping my head down and plowing through the dull bits of the build. Big questions like, how am I going to mount an engine designed for a transverse layout longitudinally and, how will I get a modern, direct injection engine to play nice with an archaic Fox Body have largely been answered. But, as is often the case in life, theres a gulf of misery between asking the questions and walking the answers. The brilliant, Mustang oriented minds at Maximum Motorsports are designing, engineering and manufacturing a custom version of the companys tubular K member to work with the modern Eco. Boost engine. Maximum Motorsports has the benefit of being a SEMA partner, so acquiring the engines CAD design drawings from Ford was as simple as placing a request. Once the designs were in hand, the companys engineers set about positioning the model in a 3. D scan of the Fox Body engine bay. The plan is to start with one of the companys modular V8 conversion K members, which will allow the engine to sit lower in the engine bay than the piece for the standard 3. Since the 2. 0 liter engine is fairly tall, I need as much oil pan clearance as possible if Im going to avoid cutting a skylight in the hood. Zach Bowman. Advertisement Continue Reading Below.

At some point in the last year, the factory 2. I started it to move the car around the garage. When I pulled the plug to drain the oil, pure, electric green coolant came pouring out for a solid 1. To the engines credit, it still started and idled merrily. The old engine came out fairly easily. It took more time to actually disconnect all of the ancillary fuel lines, vacuum lines, and electrical connections than it did to actually yank the engine, but my efforts to find a new home for the powerplant had been fruitless. Shockingly, no one seems to want an old, anemic Ford four cylinder with a blown head gasket. Resigning myself to this fact, I set about disassembling the engine for ease of transport. I was shocked to find the cylinder walls still wearing their factory cross hatching. With the engine out of the way, I set about divesting the car of the old K member. This piece and I havent gotten along so well. The very first time I turned a wrench on this car, the razor sharp plate steel that makes up the engine cradle laid my hand open in an impressive gash. I was foolishly attempting to change the oil. Silly me. Zach Bowman. Advertisement Continue Reading Below. Still, its hard not to marvel at how cleverly this car is put together. Had I left the spindles in place, everything from rotor to rotor, including the struts, springs, calipers, spindles, K member, and steering rack could have been extracted by removing just eight bolts. Ford built this car to be manufactured quickly and in massive numbers, and as a result, swapping parts about is as simple as plucking bricks from a Lego model. With the chassis clear of its old engine, steering rack, and K member, the car looks more derelict than it did on the day I drug it home. Now I can turn my attention to readying the Eco. Boost for its new home. That means raiding the Ranger parts catalog for a few bits and taking a hacksaw to a brand new high pressure direct injection fuel pump. Its going to be a party. Stay tuned. This is the 1. Head over to Autoblog. Cobra and front brakes from a 2. Mach 1. Full Disclosure Ford donated the Eco. Boost 2. 0 liter four cylinder engine to this project free of charge with the understanding that doing so will not influence either my views of the engine or the companys products. Likewise, Maximum Motorsports and other partners have lent technical assistance and parts at a discount. RREs  Eclipse 2. G Turbo 1. G Throttle Body Swap Back to Eclipse Tech Tips.
