So in that box of wires for Eco 2 I found the three harnesses below. Top left harness is the engine compartment harness, (base part number 12A581). This harness runs completely around the engine compartment and goes through the firewall just below the A pillar on both sides. It contains all...

TW, Ref: 2009 Ford Flex power steering pump mounting Yes, Flex uses FWD engine mounting. It appears that the pump bolts to the block, and FWD and RWD blocks are completely different, so those mounting bosses may not be on a RWD block. We gotta do some salvage yard investigating! Also, for...

I finished and shipped a 2012 Mustang 5.0L/6R80 harness set today. It is going to Michigan and will be used to put that powertrain into a 1979 F100. This means I can start on the wiring for ECO 2! To do a system for the F150 3.5L Ecoboost and 6R80 you need 5 harnesses. There is a harness on...

TW, Guess I will need to put this issue on my "check this out someday" list. Need to know how ford mounted the P/S pump to the engine to see if the pump can be mounted to F150 EB block. Electric P/S steering conversion systems are starting to show up for street rods. Maybe the aftermarket...

The Ford Flex did not have electric steering when the when introduced, but it did have a 3.5L V6 which had a power steering pump. I have always wondered if the front accessory drive from a 3.5L NA Flex engine would fit onto a F150 Ecoboost, thus providing a power steering pump, which would be...

Any Idea on what to do for a fuel tank? The one I have from '11 Eco 145"WB will not clear the 4x4 transfer case. Well, you only need to keep and reuse the Ecoboost's fuel pump. If you change the shape/size of the tank, then you will need to modify the sending unit so it matches the tank. If...

I will be starting the powertrain wiring for ECO 2 this coming week. This box contains all the 2015 wiring along with the PCM & BCM.

TW, Great progress! That powertrain fits really nice between the rails! How wide are the rails on that 1966 F250? I would like to compare to specs for 1953-1960 F100. It is time to start thinking about what features you want to keep in the wiring. You know well what the system can do from...

I picked up a complete 2015 F150 3.5L Ecoboost and 6R80 drop-out yesterday, wiring and modules too. Less than 10K miles, still has factory oil filter. It is from a 4x4 but it is easy to swap to a 2wd trans. No plans yet as to what it is going into, but I could not pass up the chance to get...

TW, sent you a private message Walt

TW, Do you need some help in the elimination of your Ecoboost air bags or any other such systems? I know how to do all that and will be glad to help. Walt

Sweet!

TW, That truck is Priceless! Walt

TW, Sorry to hear that your ongoing health issues are limiting your work progress! I always look forward to reading and seeing your project posts!! I have been away from home since early October, and now will be in Northeast PA until after Christmas. I can't wait to get back to sunny Nevada...

TW, I like that look, keeps with the '66 design but adds functionality for both the inter cooler and your night-time driving, Nice Job! I saw the episode of MobSteel on TV today where they put a (free from Ford Racing) 3.5L Ecoboost engine into a 1972 F100 using the Ford Racing Controls Pak...

Back in early July I rec'd a message of a person(s) offering to help with some of the electronics. That got me very motivated & I made good progress. TW, what kind of help with electronics do you need? Walt

I do not want to start a discussion here, but here are some facts that might interest someone wanting to do a build on an Ecoboost Chassis with an older F100/F150 Body. The 3.5L Ecoboost/6R80 now comes standard in the Expedition, 2015 & 2016. The Expedition's wheelbase is 119", the same as my...

TW, Just got to say "Congratulations!" You must be a very proud Pappa!!

"How about with a tune and the Ford GT turbo swap 470hp & 550 TQ at the wheels? About the limit of the stock fuel system. Be ok for a "daily driver"!" Rumor is that for 2017 the F150 Raptor 3.5L EB will have two injectors per cylinder, and either a bigger DI pump or dual DI pumps like today's...

TW, Glad you are learning all this and sharing, because the 2017 3.5L Ecoboost F150 will be around 435HP and 450ft-lbs and have a 10-speed auto and that should inspire others to follow your lead!
