    S197 2.3 Ecoboost?

    Yeah, I've got a stock 3.7 V6 automatic Mustang I'm looking to do the swap to, which I'm 99% certain has the 6R80 in it, and should bolt right up...trying to gather a list of just how much else I'll need to get that functioning, which is why when you started talking about "custom air-to-air...

    S197 2.3 Ecoboost?

    At the risk of hijacking this thread (sorry Sixer Stang), @08MustangDude do you know of anyone who's done the 3.5 swap to an automatic mustang? All I can find is manual swaps, and I'm trying to find out exactly how much it would take to do the swap in my 2012 V6 auto...

    I'm not expecting my 100k mile V6 to sell for much, tbh. And I agree, the ecoboost swap is the far more viable option; as I said above, if I do an engine swap, it will be to the EcoBoost engine, I really like that idea. Maybe there's an avenue where my high-mileage V6 is worth more; and if I...

    I'm starting to see this "by the time you add the blower to the V6" idea a lot - but the blower's only 6k, and a used 2012+ GT is still in the 15k+ range. Is it really 9k worth of upgrades to get the V6 driveshaft, suspension, and brakes upgraded? Bear in mind, I'm still not even sure I want to...

    It's an automatic, I'll edit the OP to include that. I'm not expecting huge amounts of V8 power, I'm just looking to mod what I have. If I do an engine swap at all (which would be years down the road) it would be to a 3.5L EcoBoost from the F150 that somebody mentioned above; not because it's...

    Upgrade List

    I really like the idea, but per https://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/2011-2014-mustang-talk/949809-swapping-3-5l-ecoboost-v6-into-2012-mustang.html#/topics/949809?page=1 it ended up being about a 10-15k dollar project, which is way more than the 6k supercharger, lol. It'd be sweet, but for...

    What makes the EcoBoost 3.5 so much better? And how much else needs to be swapped with it? It's my understanding that for the price of that you might as well just sell the car and by a 5.0, no? Yeah, I'm excited about that somewhere down the line :-D

    Upgrade List

    It'll never have big power numbers; it is just a V6 after all. But that doesn't mean I can't add a *little* more power. Drivability is the main thing, and it'll mostly be road driven, so it doesn't need all that much as far as brute HP anyway.

    Upgrade List

    I know. That idea is still bumping around in my head, but I do really enjoy the idea of having a car that I've had since it was brand new, not just something used I picked up because it was more HP... hard choice for me. Besides which, a used GT of the same model year is like 15-18k, rather...

    So wheels/tires -> brakes -> suspension -> exhaust -> engine/ecu?

    Upgrade List

    Ha! Didn't actually mean to leave the cosmetics on there. We'll edit that out in post >.> <.< >.> My goals are increased HP and speed without losing too much maneuverability. Needs to still function as a road car, and have a decent ride, but I'd also like to blow past the occasional...

    Upgrade List

    Hey everybody! Little introduction here: So I've finally been able to replace my 2012 V6 Base Mustang with another daily driver (a Subaru Outback), and now I get to play with my Mustang :D Bought the car brand new, have kept it to this point, and plan on hanging on to it until it's a classic. I...
