    Do you have any videos of it running and how it drives? I am thinking about doing this to my 1967 mustang. it has a 302 in now but it's slow compared to my 3.5 ecoboost in my truck.

    You mentioned a sbf transmission adapter . If you didn’t use the edslinger kit, what did you use ? I’m trying to get everything on a budget as well

    The only option is the esslinger one right now. The one I have was before theirs was on the market. It was someone from the ford ranger forums who had a drag truck. Esslinger is what you should use now.

    You're actually using the 4 cylinder T5 with this setup? Are you also using the stock 7.5 rear end? I have a 4 cylinder fox and wanting to do an ecoboost swap.

    It's the WC t5 from a turbo coupe and no the car has a 8.8 in it. I really don't think a 7.5 could take the power.

    Manual clearance with your choice of bludgeoning device. It only needed to move about 1/4 of an in to clear enough.

    intake is just a piece of aluminum pipe with a filter on the end. IAT is on the bottom with a fitting it's pushed into.

    Cost is the largest factor. $1500 trans, custom cross member/aftermarket cross member, ecoboost clutches/flywheels are expensive $1k, Custom driveshaft, no speedo. I'd have spent as much to get an mt-82 in the car as I had for just the motor swap and if I'm spending that much coin I'd rather have a t-56XL.
