Here's an ecoboost 2.0L swap. So much room in that engine bay with 240HP and 270TQ.

My dad used to have an '87. He said he regrets selling it.

I regret selling my 2003 GT.


If I got it back, I'd immediately install a set of Comp Cams X4RTI's in it

If it was an 87, it wasn't an SVO. If it was an SVO, it wasn't an 87. SVOs were only made from 84-86.

Technically yes the SVO only went to 86, but I've known of a handful of SVO's that were labeled as 87. He could have had an 86, but I thought the ones with flushed headlights were 87's.

No, flush headlights were mid-1985 and 86 only on SVOs.

The flushed headlight SVO was a mid 1985 change.

84 and early 85 had the recessed headlights, 85.5 and 86 were flush

Gotcha. It was probably an 86 then. Sad part is when he sold it the guy he sold it to wrapped it around a tree

AND THIS



PLUS



IMHO, would be the only combination that is worth that $9k price tag. I could probably be easily convinced to do the 4-banger also but 300 fwhp would be my minimum. Larger turbo, whatever it would take to push that little 4 up the hill.

This however, would be a smooth ass ride with an Eco-6.

I get the attraction, but a fox can be coyote-swapped for less.

I played around with the idea of doing a junkyard Coyote swap into a cheap fox off CL for the lulz, but that process led to other dark thoughts like Coyote-swapping Elsuperpinto... I put those thoughts on the back burner... For now.

All of that said, a fox with fully upgrades brakes and suspension with an EB3.5 and six speed would net Porsche-like performance at a budget and wrapped in a very unsuspecting package.

A coyote swap would be badass if I could afford it. My buddy Darin has a 1993 Cobra with a Coyote swap. Currently holds the record for the fastest pass in the Coyote Stock class for the NMRA. 10.20 at 130mph. It's a badass car.

Unless that is a CFR one way breather on your valve cover, replace it with a closed one, as you are sucking in unmetered air.

Another 5 RWHP. That's even more than under-drive pulleys.

Looking up engine weights, seems a EFi 302 weighs about 450#?

Just looked online and found an ecoboost 2.3L weight spec at 449# dry? Seems heavy no?


Finding a coyote 5.0 in a boneyard for cheap is probably never going to happen. One comes in and a yard owner sees $$$. You might have better luck finding ecoboost TT 3.5's as they stuffed that engine in explorers, police Taurus, ford flex, MKS, F150, etc. But finding ecoboost 2.0's and 2.3's might even be easier and cheaper. That ecoboost 2.3L is putting down what? 310HP? Hopefully it weighs a lot less than 450#
