Man these little 2.7 motors are little hot rods. Ford did a good job with these motors. I loved my 3.5 econoost sooooo much power it's crazy. One downside though GAS mileage yes yes it's a truck I know, but I traded in for a Ram 1500 Eco-Diesel and damn it's nice to pass all the gas stations for 700 miles on a 26 gallon tank🙂. I do miss the power, but that power was expensive to feed. I got to say I love my 25mpg city and 29-30mpg hey. I do miss my ford though.. This 0% offer is very temping ford is offering right now...

Joe Stanley WORLD FASTEST and 1st 2.7 F150 Ecoboost in the 12’s with SSi Tune Only. One of his 12.8’s run. What makes this even more special is its a 2wd on street tires. Awesome!

Ford says the 2.7 EcoBoost is the first gasoline-fueled serial production engine with a CGI block. We can’t swear by that, but until now we’ve encountered CGI only in diesel or race engines. Compared to conventional cast iron, CGI provides substantially better tensile strength, 45 percent greater stiffness and twice the fatigue strength. It has more dimensional stability and better NVH damping qualities than aluminum, and while it’s heavier than aluminum, it’s much denser. CGI allows thinner castings and more compact dimensions, and it requires no bore liners. The 2.7’s main bearing caps are cast with the CGI block, then scored with a laser at specific angles and snapped off.

Then there’s the unusual design of the 2.7’s two-piece block. The CGI casting basically follows the angle of the cylinders down to the crank journals and caps. The skirt and lower crankcase is aluminum--trimming weight where strength is less an issue--and bolts to flanges on the CGI upper. Ford calls the aluminum section a ladder frame, because it connects the main-bearing caps in one continuous structure. Two bolts in the four-bolt mains attach the caps to the CGI portion. The other two go through the aluminum ladder and caps to the CGI block.

This is probably not going to be a favored remark but I just updated my sct x4 and put the new canned 91 tune on and my truck sure does feel a lot stronger than it did with the 87 or 91 5star perf/tow tunes I have for it.
