@HotShotVQ35 Probably more like in your 50s(LOL). I'm almost 54 and the SVO Mustang came out shortly after I graduated high school(1983). There were carbureted turbo 2.3 Mustangs & Capris before the SVO, remember the '79 Mustang pacecar? It came in either 2.3 turbo or 5.0 V8. The cars in this video are amazingly clean and the craftsmanship is extremely high quality. These guys are very talented!
I talked to a guy who bought a late 90's svt cobra, blew up the 4.6l. took a 2.3 out of a Ford escape, fabbed up his own mounts and slapped a turbo on it. I asked why. And his response: "because I could" still one of my favorite local builds to date.
I think you mean 2.0 I don't believe they had the 2.3 until 2021, it is probably the 2.0 ecoboost, the same motor in the focus ST. Theyre dirt cheap because so many were made, you can pick up complete motors for 700 bucks
Awesome, I always thought the 2.3 liter EcoBoost would be an awesome swap for a Fox Body SVO just to keep with it’s original design but give it a big performance boost.
@@WorkingOnRocks yeah they put out some good power but to keep in line with the original SVO layout I’d go with the 2.3 liter EcoBoost. Just my thoughts.
This is what I have been waiting for for a long time now! I love the old skool 2.3 Fox’s from back in the day and to see a modern eco boost 2.3 put into an old fox body mustang is music to my ears!
That EcoBoost fox is an idea I had when the 2.3 hit the scene, it's all about power to weight ratio!!and it does not disappoint, making coyote power and half the weight and twice the mpgs, it's hard to believe you can get 30mpg and make 450hp at the crankshaft
I've been wanting to drop the 2.3 EcoBoost in a foxbody ever since the brought out this engine! Everyday guy here so that kind of money just doesn't exist for me. Great car guys!
That’s been done actually. He did his swap around the same time I did mine, so probably around 2016. It’s harder now though because Ford stopped making stand alone engine controls for the V6 EcoBoost.
That eco coupe is awesome!! I had a 1984 gt turbo 5spd back in the mid 90’s and it was the 2.3 non intercooled turbo, but I added a ford Motorsport cam and added a t-bird turbo coupe intercooler with 86 svo intake injectors ,turbo and ecu…that car was fast and later got to drive an 86 svo for 2 weeks and it would hit 19lbs of boost…what a rocket 👍🏻👍🏻
No.. The first was in 2013. The guy is still on Facebook. He worked to achieve the first pats removal for the EcoBoost ecu with a guy named eric from HP TUNERS and hes STILL the ONLY guy who can remove it on the 2014+ engines. There have been over 20 done that I've seen personally. 3.5s and 2.3s
I was dreading opening this video for so long because I thought it'd be a 3.5 Eco, finally watched it and I'm so happy it's a 2.3! Love how they kept it to the original roots

Does sound like a Honda 🤣
I bet that 2.3 blows your doors off, Caleb 😂
Sounds dope with that foxbody exhaust. Personally, id go for a manual trans.

I never thought about it but I could probably fit an ecoboost v6 in my bronco 2 instead of the 5.0
Do a SHO swap all wheel drive ecoboost 3.5 lol
Jiro Figueroa maybe I should do that with my sho instead of selling it lol
@@pimpinondemhos101 that would be awesome lmao
You would make all your money back from RUclips ads. Lol
Therron Humphrey you’re probably not wrong lol
Our EcoBoost F150 has Twin Turbo V6. Love the engine and it is fun to drive. Love Fox Bodies. Looks good.
Need a raptor fox.... lol
It's been done. Saw one on Craigslist Dallas I believe for mid 20s
That's a sick build. The ten speed auto those come with aren't bad, that's if you can't source a manual.
Sooo why didn’t ya swap it with a 2.7 or 3.5 ecoboost
Bc those engines are garbage for making power unless you tear them down to the bare block and put in iron sleeves.

@@TurboNFRStwoK A stock tune only 3.5 will make 700hp? Lol
Subaru 412 I guess reading isn’t your strong suit as I never said that and this car doesn’t make 700hp.
@@TurboNFRStwoK I just saw you saying that setup will top around 5-600hp. Then you said a stock 3.5 with a tune will make 150whp more than that. Which is 700 if you go in the middle of 500+150= 650 and 600+150=750.
Wow, you guys did a awesome job on that pony eco Beast!
My dream project would be pretty similar, but it would be done with a Turbo Coupe Thunderbird, or a normal T-Bird with Turbo Coupe parts
WOW!! Well done! Best sounding Ecobeast I've ever heard
I'm doing a 2.3 EcoBoost swap into my wife's 1967 Cougar. Tune into my channel to see that happen, it'll be a full fabrication & install series!
Sure... Why not? Back in 86 my buddy had an SVO. It was made for competition against the Grand National. It held its own. Really nice job done on this one.
Beatin up on a cold engine.. Tisk
I have an 86 SVO and I like what you have done. Good job!!!!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure they swapped an EcoBoost into an SVO on the Motor Trend show, Junkyard Empire a while back.
I love the fox body..its ageless..so much euro an asian coupe’s on the road..this is definitely unique..great job
pretty cool build, they did a nice job very clean. For me though I gotta have the sound of a V8
I had an 86 SVO with a Stage 2 Bo port head and Stinger exhaust, That thing was pretty fast. This is a really cool build... Wish mine didn't get stolen.
I had the give a like at the first minute of the video just because MUSTANGS!!!!!
There was an EcoBoost foxbody mustang that appeared in maximum motorsports a couple years ago. The 79 pace car foxbody also had the old 2.3 turbo motor.
Dam I was instantly disappointed when I saw it wasn't the 3.5 🙁. Very nice car though
Great job guys.
