Default Ecoboost

I am a proud owner of a V6 2000 F150 2wd 5 speed. I am really thinking about replacing the engine to something better, and I was wondering if the new V6 ecoboost engine will fit. If it will, does anyone know where I could get one, and for how much?

Better to sell you truck and use $$ for new one.

About the only hing in the driveline you wouldn't need o change would be the rear end.

Fuel pump, lines, literally everything from the fuel pump to the exhaust would have to be changed. It would probably be cheaper to find a new(er) truck.

(I'd love to be a fly on the wall in a Contour forum.....someone's going to try and shoehorn one in.)

If you're wanting to do all the work to swap in a Eco you might as well take the next step and drop a 6.2L in it. Then force feed the 6.2L
