unless you are in your 40s, not many remember the SVO, and everyone is v8 or die, this is pretty awesome
HotShotVQ35 😒🤔🤔I’m 33
SVO's were awesome cars ahead of there time!
I remember special vehicle operations 84 thru 86
@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!
@@05gtdriver cant forget the gt turbo from 83 and 84 that was basically a non intercooled svo.
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
@@robreeto lol dude they have had the 2.3 forever look it up lol hes not talking about an ecoboost
I wish I could find it
@@mustangmadness530 I had an 89 2.3 and 87 2.3. Wish I still had them. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@Robert Roberts you want power you run v8s not 6s or 4s
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.
3.5 out of the truck would be cooler
@@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.
@@porscheguy09Absolutely! Even though it would be very hard not wanting the 2.7 or 3.5L but if not 2.3 then I would just go for the Coyote for my TC.
I want to see a new edge ecoboost swap lol!
I’m a big V8 guy, but honestly that’s the best sounding eco boost I’ve ever heard. Awesome car!!!!
Those are really cool cars! I was thinking the EcoBoost car should have a svo hood! So Cool!
I agree. The SVO hood is my favorite hood, it sucks all the aftermarket goods move the scoop to the center instead of offset to the right.
Hell nah!!! I get what you’re thinkin but the SVO hood has to be the ugliest mustang hood ever
Do a 90's Ford Taurus SHO and drop an Ecoboost with a turbo!. That would stand out. May be weird to people but definitely a one of a kind you know?.
My 93 Coupe has a 85 SVO front end on it. Looks sweet. (Instagram)@clean93coupe
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!
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!
Cory Brown us 9-5 guys work for years just to get a small turbo
@@antmx-5191 I can certainly agree with that. We can dream though.
In 1984-86 the 2.3 turbo was introduced along with the thunderbird..
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
By far the best “race car” that can be a practical daily for the most part.
This is honestly one of the coolest swaps I've seen in awhile. Definitely unique and really well done. Sounds really great too.
Sick build! I would have loved to see a 3.5 TT eco in this with a 6spd manual.
Right?!
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.
@DCGarage That is so lame, wonder what made them do that?
This is, by far, the cleanest foxbody swap I have ever seen.
Damn that eco notch is freaking CLEAN. Badass. Love it.
This is probably the best sounding 2.3 exhaust setup... strangely enough 😂
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 👍🏻👍🏻
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
They built one of these on that junkyard empire show...but it was an 85 svo car originally. ..it was like 2 yrs ago....first eco boost fox body swap
yup I just saw the rerun of that EP last night.. Car came out pretty cool (for a ford)
Trent Robey saw that episode as well I’d like to see a 3.5 eco in a 2006 ford ranger
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
Trent Robey I think that one was a 3.5 eco from the f150
Definitely not the first.
That ecoboost looks great without the rubber trim on the body,you barely notice its not there!! CLEAN..
There's ecoboost fox bodies from like 4 years ago. Your not the first but your probably the best
i wasn’t expecting this fox to be this nice and actually sound as good as it does with the 2.3
Keeping these Foxybody's Alive One Swap At a time, regardless of the swap. I love it.
This guy really puts a lot of detail in his builds, amazing.
A guy in Tucson has a gotta-have-it-green 4-eye with the 2.3 eco. Stock though. The foxbody was made for the 4 cyl ecoboost.
That was a 2L EcoBoost not the 2.3
Yep, was going to post this. I read about it a few years ago
Cool, I’ll keep on the look-out for it👍🏻
Next needs a 4.0 bara engine from Australia
Theres a boatload of people wanting em..
@fomocoboy its the orders really.. The barra was built in high numbers. Trick would be the ecm and then trans
PureCountryof91 microsquirt and MS3 will power nearly anything
@@tnroyal3778 if thats the case, what about the turbo ones? And then there is the rest of the vehicle. I wanna do that swap in a 4x4 ranger for reasons..
PureCountryof91 Custom dash gauges should be all you need, microsquirt and the MS3 gold box probably control everything engine related, speed, and RPM could maybe be controlled also.... there’s people running 4 wheelers and lawn mower engines, motorcycles all kinda stuff with those ecu’s..... not sure what the cost would be probably not cheap
The swap I've been waiting for ever since the 2.3 EcoBoost first came out. Awesome!!!
I swapped a 3.5 into my 99 Mustang in 2016. It’s been flawless since. Clean car you have there.
AJ Hartman Aero that’s sounds really slick, you have any pics or vids? How hard was the swap?
It was before I started doing videos unfortunately. I did have a few in depth blog posts but when I changed websites they got lost as well. :(
Glad to see an EcoBoost swap in this fox body. Was looking to do this. Seeing it done over the 5.0 is pretty good.
That is very nice! Looks really good in the bay... so clean! And that Grabber Orange, first time I have seen that color on a foxbody. I have seen many of my firsts because of Foxcast Media, Keep up the great content!
These are truly epic builds on your channel! You have ruined me from ever wanting a fox mustang until I can fund a build like these.
We've had a 4cyl Eco boost fox in Tucson Arizona forever
I myself really wanted to build a 1984 Pontiac Fiero with a Duramax diesel single turbo in it, but when I realized how much fabrication it would need I realized it wouldn't really be a Fiero with a crazy engine. So I've switched gears to do a twin turbo 3.6 liter V6 LF3 motor and I do believe it will still be really awesome and definitely a "One of a kind" build.. Everybody does the LS swap in them but I wanted to truly stand out like you guys do at Foxcast Media!.. Now a Foxbody LX hatch is my true dream to build/own, but since this Pontiac build I can do now or bring to life I'll have to just watch your great videos and keep dreaming about it and just hope above all that one day I will own a Foxbody 🤞.. Stay great @Foxcast Media and thank you so damn much for sharing your journeys with us all!. 🙏🙏❤️🍻
What a beautiful car! Love the 2.3 EcoBoost powerplant!
I'd kill for this. My 79 coupe is a factory 2.3 carbed turbo. It would be awesome for it to be a 2.3 turbo once again.
What a super clean top notch build. If they had started out with an SVO, the Ecoboost swap would have made so much more sense.
Wow... just wow! Would love to have one with a 6 speed H pattern behind it. Seems like it’d be so fun!
Such amazing attention to detail in the engine bay!
This car is immaculate interior , engine bay everything omg.
MM&FF featured a green fox a few years ago that had a 2.0 EcoBoost in it. So this isn't the first, but its sure cool. I love my EcoBoost Mustang. Runs high 11s and gets 33 mpg.
THE SAUS I believe that one was a 2.0 from the Focus, not 100% sure
@@FoxcastMedia you are correct.. it was an ST swap.
This was the one I was thinking of... couldn't remember if it was green or Orange. Thought it too was actually ornage, but here you go.
@@Vic_CruzN91026 I didn't see 2.3 mentioned in the title. Just EcoBoost.
@@thesaus1975 ruclips.net/video/Nh71n3qud6Y/видео.html here it is. As I understand it you can fit 2.3 internals in a 2.0 block. Apparently 2.0 blocks are stronger. Not sure if it means boring out the cylinder walls, but I assume 2.3 has longer stroke but fits block
Oh damn the ashtray door and the map light both worked, wow! Mindblowing, love that color on the EcoBoost foxbody.
Talks about turbo: Size does matter
(Uses the 2.3 ecoboost)
All jokes aside, that's one clean car and I appreciate the work they put into it!
TH3 C4SSIU5 3FF3CT it was a joke, if you didn’t catch onto that
@@WoodsWalkinLYF the 2.3 is absolutely not better than the 2.0 or 1.6... the fiestas 1.6 has proved to be stronger in stock form than both 2.0 and 2.3. And the 2.0 in built form has proved to be stronger and more reliable than the 1.6 or 2.3. Theres a reason built engine FoRS's use stroked FoST engines. Read up mane
Great concept! I'm a fan of the older SVOs, and this takes it a step further.
Awe man ...that's pretty cool but I thought it would be a 3.5
Jonathan Barger was hoping for the 3.7 V8
Saddd
Then you dont know much .there is 3 differant eco boost engines.4 and 6 cly
I honestly think the 3.5 High Output Ecoboost would be perfect for these
I prefer the 2.7L
@@SimplexSM that would actually be sweet. Those things are awesome! My dad's company truck has one in it and I was shocked
I would go “woooo” myself. It just shows your love for cars....you can’t help yourself
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! IRS would be cool too
oh and I have seen one other one out there, a lime green fox, wicked cool car
Yeep! The SVO. Sounds angry too
Looking over your shoulder for the RS and you see this ol girl! Sounds so good and hauls real nice! Love it!
Someone needs to Eco Boost swap a Merkur XR4ti!!
Lee Powers as long as they keep the double whale tail lol
And a 2.7 ecoboost into a Scorpio.
Or a 2.3 volvo 240, 740, etc.
I haven’t even seen one in over ten years probably, and cars don’t rust here either !
Cosworth engine looks nicer and sounds better
Great job guys.
That’s nuts but it’s cool,gotta do 3.5 raptor or Ford GT motor in a Fox.
just an f150 3.5 would be sick
Brandon Panozzo ya the raptor shares more with the ford GT car not 100 percent sure but I know it’s like 60 percent the same.
I got a buddy that made 500whp with not anything to crazy in an f150 that thing felt fast i could not imagine it in an old notch
Brandon Panozzo ya no doubt I have a 18 raptor an for 6000 lbs stock pickup it hurts feelings on people that don’t expect the boost launch. Have tons of races in it in my channel. Also I have raced many tuned regular eco f150s an they gap my raptor an my mustang pp1 an my 14 gt lmao.
That would be a nasty sleeper
Love the channel and Mo and Jeffrey are awesome.Everything these guys touch is going to be legendary and I rock with Mo's speedshop here in Cali.
This was not the first a couple swapped an ecoboost into a 86 SVO Mustang
@Aeternalis Armentarius What does the title say? Displacement is irrelevant.
I know 2 2.3 swapped svo's personally
In '93 I was choosing the color for my car and orange and /or yellow were my 2 final choices, These cars prove I was on to something! I love them both!
Where can we get complete details of the build on this car?
It shows me that sometimes people forget what you really can do with the mustang you can make it a a true champ
The sound a V8 with dual exhaust makes though ...
Yes especially these fox bodies wij original ho 5.0 liter engines with the Flowmaster 40's is one of the best American engine sounds that have ever existed
I come back and rewatch this video like 2x a month. Gotta have a good representation of the goal. And the angry orange IS the goal.
A '79 pacecar would be sweet too with this swap IMO.
Yessir!!!
Sounds dope with that foxbody exhaust. Personally, id go for a manual trans.
Does sound like a Honda 🤣
I bet that 2.3 blows your doors off, Caleb 😂
That looks so much more composed in the corners with the weight reduction...my Windsor fox will pucker the butt in the twisties
That laugh after the transmission that how i feel 😂😂💀
I think I'm most jealous over the hood struts and where they stop the hood from coming on up. Anyone who has ever owned a fox with a hood that had overhang knows what I'm talking about. Bet money they have had at least 1 good buddy rip the hood up for ya that hasn't owned one. also those panels on the strut towers and firewall!!! Genius!!! to hide all the holes and ugly spots, and ties into the engine covers. what a good idea
This car was featured at Summit Racing down near Atlanta. Nice build
Yep, McDonough, Georgia.
@@markchapman8101 I'm definitely glad i was able to get a few pics of it when I saw it there
Unfortunately didnt ☹
That's a sick build. The ten speed auto those come with aren't bad, that's if you can't source a manual.
"sounds like a Honda"
*Boosted Boys laughing in the background*
*1000 horse Prelude*
How the heck am I just now watching this?????!!!!! Damn that swap is clean! I'm an EcoBoost fan!!!! Love it!
Everyone hates the new Ecoboost mustangs now a days just because it doesn't have a V8.
I'm glad it's getting some love
It's an "ecoboost" that makes the same power as a v6 and last like 80k miles and has less mpg than the 5.0
@@mynamejeff2647 Ecoboost makes more HP and TQ stock than the V6. This makes more than both
@@foxchase725 yes the older v6 they didnt make the v6 when they started the EcoBoost. What I'm saying is it is a very unreliable engine it doesnt make much power compared to na v6s from other companies like Nissan and genesis. And it gets way worse gas mileage if you even accelerate at all. Btw there is an na v6 making 520hp stock
@@foxchase725 Also you limit yourself by having a 4cyl if your going for power get a v8. With 20 psi on the 5.0 you'll be looking at over 700whp and that 2.3 is probably at 25psi and makes less than 400 to the wheel
Do you know anything about mustangs?.... Ecoboost came about with the new gen mustangs. 2015 was the first year. They sold the Ecoboost AND V6 and obviously V8. But since from FACTORY, the EB made more power AND tq, more people ended up buying the EB instead of the V6. Ford discontinued the V6 in their latest mid-cycle refresh (2018+). With a simple tune and exhaust, you're pretty much at the power of the V8.
4cyl or not, that's pretty impressive.
89' chassis with an Ecoboost. I have a 90' chassis(Convertible) I've been wanting to do the same thing with. Man... that is soooo clean!
I like it a lot,
Front end has like a Subaru/Mitsubishi Evo kind of sound to it.
Rear is definitely Honda lol
Wow some of the cleanest work and cars foxbodys I've seen in my life
I'm hoping to do the same on my 89 vert (currently original 2.3L). Would starting with a crate ecoboost engine make the swap much easier?
That Foxbody makes me want an EcoBoost setup in my 1992 Ranger -- which has a 2.3L Lima.
Good job guys!
Junk Yard Empire swapped a 2.3 Ecoboost in a 1985 SVO Mustang season 4 episode 4 and 5. Turned out nice. That was last year.
That engine bay is so clean! I love all the different builds there. Chevy Truck with LS, Foxbody with EcoBoost. Yes! Different is good. That all black interior on that other vert is definitely what I need. PS I haven't gotten tired of the intro yet. Seriously need to do a new one for my channel.
That EcoBoost is pretty cool. I like turbo 4 cylinders a lot.
Sounds great! Looks even better
I would drive the wheels off this car such a clean build
That black interior in the vert is sick!!!
Dan Clary did the 3.5 Ecoboost so this might be the first 2.3 Ecoboost.
I have an 86 SVO and I like what you have done. Good job!!!!!!!!!
Ford has done the Mustangs of old justice with the 5th/6th gens... they need to redo the Fox platform with current technology! Just imagine the classic Fox look with all new gear... and here's another wild idea.. bring back affordable Mustangs for the working man. Keep all the bells & whistles.. I'll take a V8 with hand crank windows for $20k
Did you forget you can go buy a brand new ecoboost mustang for around 30k?
@@zuestoots5176
$10k more, 4 cylinder... no thanks.
They need to do a reproduction of the chassis like they do Shelby's.
I know it's a wonderful dream but this is never going to happen. They are never gonna offer striped down models with crank windows and a v8 for 20k ever again its just not happening and they aren't gonna make the new mustang smaller its just gonna keep getting bigger and heavier like it has for 30+ years now. The new one is supposed to be an awd hybrid v8 so it is going to be very heavy prob above 4000 lbs for a gt. The days of simple lightweight cheap v8s are over I'm sorry to say and soon the days of v8s period will be over. I hate it but at least we got alot of cool older cars to tinker with
@@midnight347 Ya I mean of course they won't do it, a plain car that is cool and everyone could afford, why do that. The whole world runs on greed.
Interior is super nice too
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!
Mart Ochs (MO) tuned my Marauder. He is THE MAN!
Awesome install!
Wonder if anyone has tried a 3.5l TT....🤔
And the 2.7 v6 eb that small 176 ci motor has 400tq from factory
Dude in blue reviewed a s197 with 3.5TT straight out of a pickup truck I do believe
Also there's a guy on RUclips who swapped it into a 88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe
It's been done, me🖐️
I love that amazing Ecoboost swap Stang.... The color is great
Need a raptor fox.... lol
It's been done. Saw one on Craigslist Dallas I believe for mid 20s
Our EcoBoost F150 has Twin Turbo V6. Love the engine and it is fun to drive. Love Fox Bodies. Looks good.
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.
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
I wish this would be come more popular in swapps
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
I love the fox body..its ageless..so much euro an asian coupe’s on the road..this is definitely unique..great job
I had the give a like at the first minute of the video just because MUSTANGS!!!!!
Super clean swap, great job to the owner.
Beatin up on a cold engine.. Tisk
I love the idea of this! Performance AND fuel economy!
Sounds ready to hijack a mack truck full of electronics
tommy d u b b s legendary
That is one awesome swap,matter of interest are the engine mounts in same location as the140 (2.3) lima,and the windsor 302(5.0).also these ecoboosts can make a lot of power for their size.even the 61 inch 3 cylinder (1.0)
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.
Gᴜᴛꜱ • ᏖᏂᏋ ᏂᎧᏬᏁᎴ Ꭷƒ ᎴᏗᏒᏦᏁᏋᏕᏕ they only made 387 to the tires... I know it was a short pull but that setup will probably top out around 5-600 wheel. The stock 3.5 with a tune on a manual tranny will make those numbers plus another 150+wtq.
@@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.
That yellow mustang is absolutely sick.
