~ 1966 F100 gets EcoBoost Engine Swap~

If enough interest I will post my project's here.


My 1966 F100 with 3.5L EcoBoost has been on hold for over 2 yrs now. But am happy to say I will start back up on it very soon.


My 1966 F100 with a 427 Side Oiler is also well on its way.


Here is what I started out with. 1966 F250 Long Bed (I call it a F100 has better ring to it but being a F250 VIN will allow me to tow & haul much more)

for 3250.00 plus fee's and fuel I was able to pick up a 2011 F150 EcoBoost with only 6300 miles on it. Pic loaded leaving Amarillo

 

[EcoBoostF100]

what a mangled mess it was hit hard in rear. And yes the engine and trans are fine. Rear axle assy not so much. LOL

 

[EcoBoostF100]

Plan of course has to include all electronics to get it all to work.

Teardown of the '66 F250 Donor

 

[EcoBoostF100]

The first meeting of the eco chassis & the '66 cab. Love at first sight! LOL

 

[EcoBoostF100]

much to my amazement the '66 cab front mounts would bolt direct to the 2011 Eco Chassis

 

[EcoBoostF100]

But, Because the original '66 frame was approx 1/2 the height of the '11 frame decided to channel the cab down over frame using the '11 firewall and floor.

A fair amount of cutting and drilling needed to get the '11 firewall and floor out. First tried firewall. Kind of a screw up as should have taken them out together.

Amazing the '11 & '66 firewalls the exact same height.

 

[EcoBoostF100]

I was really into it now!

Hoping I could get it all to work ordered up a new 126" WB frame from ford. The '66 WB is 129". More on that in a bit.

 

[EcoBoostF100]

Even though the 2012 126" WB frame was brand new it looked horrible!

To start fresh gave it a new paint job using PPG Urethane .

 

[EcoBoostF100]

After painting the new frame and stripping down the '11 Eco Frame I brought them both in shop to start swapping parts.
